Friday May 7<sup>th</sup> at 7:30 pm in the Western Campus Theatre located at
11000 Pleasant Valley Rd. in Parma, Tri-C faculty members Sarah Carey and Megan
Pitcher will host the spring 2010 Dance Showing. Students from all dance classes
will be demonstrating class work and improvisational dance explorations while
faculty members discuss the skills and developments of their work.
Selected students will perform works-in-progress choreographed by faculty
members and students. We will discuss how these works were developed, and
describe the artistic intent behind each. Students from Dance IV will
perform "Again Today," choreographed by the students and directed by
Pitcher. This piece was selected for presentation in the upcoming 2010
Ohio Dance Festival in Oberlin. Additionally, audience members will be
able to see a guest presentation created by Sevi Bayraktar. This
lecture / demonstration dance concert is an excellent opportunity for Tri-C
students and community members to learn more about the dance program at
the Western Campus and to learn how they can be a part of this growing
program. Tickets are $5 and Free for Tri-C students with a valid student
ID. </span><b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></p>
