The UNCG Department of Dance will host a bachelor of fine arts thesis concert April 28 and 29.
“From the Inside Out” will be performed 8 p.m. April 28 and 29 and at 2 p.m. April 29 in the UNCG Dance Theatre near the corner of Walker Avenue and Kenilworth Street. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $7 for non-UNCG students and seniors and $5 for students with identification. The concert is a final project by six students seeking a bachelor’s of fine arts degree.
“From the Inside Out” will include:
• “The Self; And Dolls,” by Jen Sherman. This work is described by Sherman as a “portrait view of women’s identities from 1900 to the present.
• “Bellezza Classica,” by Stephanie Byrnes, is a simple, design-oriented piece. The dance will feature five dancers who Byrnes said “express the beauty of the music, and the enjoyment of moving.”
• “Rip,” a work choreographed by Nicole Plainte, will include four solos and conclude with a group resolution.
• Jamal Ari Black’s “Spectacles of Color” examines issues facing the homosexual black male community. The dance explores confusion, self identity, unification and acceptance.
• Commenting on issues facing contemporary women, “embodied identity: woman as…” by Lauren Guy McAlpin considers socialized gender expectations of women.
• Ashley West’s “125 Spencer Ave.” This colorful, campy piece is described by West as a “wonderfully weird mix of theatre and dance.”
