Hello, fellow Terriers – and welcome back to another semester of dance classes! Whether for credit or fun, we hope you will join us for one of our exciting yet challenging classes this fall.
On top of that, we’re also looking forward to this year’s Dance Showcase, an annual concert highlighting the incredible work by our amazing faculty and friends. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be hosting another successful Showcase featuring original work by Dance Visions, Margot Parsons, KAIROS Dance Theater, DeAnna Pellecchia, Marin Orlosky Randow and Liz Roncka, as well as our 2018 Reach! cast and excerpts from BBII (courtesy of Boston Ballet).
This year’s show is slated to be a great one – and for between $10 (BU community) and $20 (general public), you can join us for an exciting evening of dance, inspiration and creativity in Boston University’s one-and-only Dance Theatre.
In case that isn’t enough for you, we’re listing five more reasons we couldn’t be more psyched for the Fall 2018 Dance Showcase. New and returning students, faculty and staff: prepare to be amazed by everything the BU Dance Program has to offer!
A Variety of Styles
Some dance concerts feel like a broken record – but not at BU! From classical ballet to aerial silks, we’ve got a number for every taste in this year’s lineup. With choreographers ranging from BU faculty to Boston Ballet, our 2018 Dance Showcase will be sure to keep you on your toes. (Get it?)
Lighting by Lynda Rieman
As much as we love the art of dance alone, what makes the Dance Showcase truly special is all the magic that goes into making it happen. In our production, one of the most important elements is the lighting design, crafted by Fitrec’s own Lynda Rieman. Under the gleaming glow of BU’s Dance Theatre, you’ll find yourself enlightened by an enchanting evening of dance.
Affordable Fun on Campus
We college students know how difficult it can be to afford tickets to some of Boston’s finer ballets and premier dance companies when we’re scraping by on PB&J and ramen noodles. However, BU’s annual Dance Showcase brings high-caliber work to campus at the affordable price of $10 per ticket for any member of the BU community. My reply? Sign me up ASAP!
Beautiful Costumes
One of the benefits to seeing dance performed in concert is admiring the second art that goes into a successful production: the art of fashion. Mark Twain once said that “clothes make the man” – and we at BU dance happen to think this applies to performances, too! After all, there’s nothing like a sparkly tutu (or muted leotard) to help your dance make a statement.
Making New Friends
Last but not least, we encourage you to attend the 2018 Dance Showcase this fall because even if you don’t know anyone in attendance, you’re bound to find a fellow dance lover somewhere in the throngs of our audience! Whether you’re new to BU or a seasoned CRC veteran, we could all stand to have a few more friendly faces in our lives…and what better way to bond than over an evening of inspiring, thought-provoking dance?
