Spring Dance Concert: Tidal Motion

April 18
7:30 pm

Sorenson-Fenton Studio, Florence J. Gillmor Hall

Tidal Motion combines dance with live music to portray the beauty and complexity in the patterns that cycle through our lives. Westminster Dance Company’s spring performance uses water thematically as a metaphor for the ways our actions, emotions, and connections ebb and flow over time. Westminster student dancers infuse these themes with life through dynamic movement that references the rise and fall of the tides found in daily existence. Westminster School of Music faculty Brandon Derfler and Julie Page, along with guest musicians Jenn Chandler and Michael Wall will perform live in collaboration with original choreography by Westminster Dance faculty Bethany Hansen, Carly Schaub, and Meghan Wall, with guest choreographers James Morrow and Dmitri Peskov.

Please join us for a reception following the performance!
