UNCG Dance Faculty Presents Eclectic Program Nov. 13-16

GREENSBORO — The Department of Dance at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro will present its Faculty Concert Wednesday through Saturday, Nov. 13-16. Concerts will begin at 8 p.m. in the UNCG Dance Theater located on Walker Avenue in the Health and Human Performance building.

Tickets are general admission, and the prices are $10 for adults, $7 for senior citizens, children and non-UNCG students, and $5 for UNCG students with ID.  Parking is available in the University lot on the corner of Aycock Street and Walker Avenue, and in the Walker Avenue parking deck (75 cents/hour).  For further information and reservations, call (336) 334-4849, Monday through Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

The program will include pieces by John Gamble, Eluza Santos, B.J. Sullivan, Gerri Houlihan, and Jan Van Dyke.  Mitch Fore will supervise light design.
Gamble will present "The Road to Baghdad Passes Through Hanoi," a collage of personal reflections on past wars, cultural chauvinism and the world of Dr. Strangelove.  The piece is an impressionistic slice of Gamble's mind, and the movement invention comes from a cast of 23 dancers.

Tepper will dance a solo choreographed by Eluza Santos entitled "Piece of Me/Pedaço de Mim."  It is an eight-minute solo danced to the piano music of Jon Anderson and Chico Buarque (interpreted by Zizi Possi).  The piece is about a woman carrying the feeling of being punished by loss.

Sullivan will present "fallen open palm exposing its hovering weight under skimming heels rubbing raw spearing survival."  Nine UNCG students will perform this piece, which is accompanied by a Frank Vulpi original score.

Santos will dance "Mudar de Vida," a solo choreographed by Gerri Houlihan to the Portuguese guitar music of Carlos Paredes.  The piece reflects facets of emotion and was choreographed specifically for Santos, inspired by the spirit of her Brazilian heritage.

Van Dyke will present "Trade Routes: An Exploration in Sound and Space (2002)."  Four women from the Van Dyke Dance Group will dance the piece, which is set to traditional Asian music.
