Dance minors presenting choreography showcase April 24-26

Salve Regina’s dance minors will present new works during the annual Student Choreography Showcase April 24-26. Performances will be held in the Megley Theatre at 8 p.m. Thursday, April 24 and Friday, April 25, and at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 26.

Admission is $3 for Salve Regina students and $5 for all others.

The showcase will include a range of contemporary choreography, and many of the pieces are the final projects for the course DNC400: Choreography. Each student choreographer developed an original work through a process of reflection and creative exploration with the support of their peers.

Forty students are involved in the production. Choreographers include Alyssa Batchelder ’14, Cayley Christoforou ’15, Elizabeth Franson ’15, Allyson Hamel ’15, Alli Montecillo ’14, Alisia Medeiros ’15, Amanda Morton ’15, Casey Sheehan ’14, Ciara Speller ’15, Sabrina Stensland ’16, Lexie Stewart ’16 and Tatiana Trapani ’15.

Lighting design was provided by theatre arts majors Sam Gibbons ’14 and Olivia Gavriel ’14, while assistant professor of dance Lindsay Guarino directed the concert and mentored the student choreographers.
