BEREA, OH – The Department of
Theatre and Dance at Baldwin Wallace University presents Fyoo zh en ’17: Liars in Fur Coats directed by Sara Whale.
Each year aspiring
choreographers from Baldwin Wallace University’s Dance Program are chosen to
participate in a collaborative, creative process that results in their work
being presented in Fyoo zh en, the
Department of Theatre and Dance’s annual dance concert. The developing artists
are paired with composers and asked to collectively create a full length work
that takes its inspiration from a faculty member’s academic research.
Fyoo zh en ’17 is
inspired by biology professor Dr. Karen Munroe’s research on the social and
mating habits of squirrels. The production features choreography by BW seniors
Ashley Haviland, Olivia Watson and Caroline Guy, BW faculty Sara Whale and
Rebecca Leuszler, with an original score by BW alum Sean Ellis Hussey. In this
humorous romp, the audience is invited to follow a group of student biologists
and their trusty mentor as they hit the wilds to observe the social and mating
systems of gray and fox squirrels. But watch out… who is really
watching whom?
February 1 - 4 @ 7:30pm
Post performance talk-back with Dr. Munroe, choreographers, composer and performers directly following the show on Fri. Feb 3 @ 7:30pm.
