UW students to present dance and video works

Original choreography and multimedia works by University dance students will be featured in the upcoming Spring Student Concert sponsored by the Dance Program.

The concert runs three nights, March 29-31, at 8 p.m. in the Margaret H’Doubler Performance in Lathrop Hall, 1050 University Ave.

“We have an interesting group of dance and video works to show this spring,” says Douglas Rosenberg, concert coordinator and Dance Program assistant professor. “Students have tapped into their creativity by exploring things such as form and groupings, personal awareness, anxiety, nature, and video improvisation using special effects.”

Among the pieces: A group dance by Elena Schmeekle, a junior from Stevens Point; solos by Laura Mayer, a senior from Bartlett, Ill., and Kelly Radermacher, a junior from Chaska, Minn.; and videos by Tara Nicole Stamm, a senior from Oak Creek, and Melissa Strzelinski, a senior from Crystal Lake, Ill.

Tickets: $8 for students and senior citizens, $10 general public, Wisconsin Union Theater Box Office, 800 Langdon St., (608) 262-2201, or at the door. For more information, call (608) 262-1691.
