On the heels of celebrating 40 years of dancing at Tufts, members of the Dance Program have put together a Fall Dance Concert showcasing the outstanding work of students, faculty, and two guest artists. Solo capstone works created by Senior Dance Minors Mikayla Cole and Maggie Lieberman stand alongside the works of prominent guest artists in the field, Pat Catterson and Stefanie Batten Bland. Pat Catterson, Guggenheim award winning choreographer and custodian of Yvvone Rainer’s early works including Trio A, reimagines her work Present Circumstances for a cast of 6 dancers. Stefanie Batten Bland, creator of SBB Dance Company and former dancer with Pina Bausch, Bill T. Jones, and Punch Drunk’s Sleep No More, will share an excerpt of Look Who’s Coming to Dinner. This version of the work, staged by SBB company member AJ Guevara and coached by Batten Bland, has been remounted on a cast of 7 undergraduate and graduate students. Additionally, the concert will include new works created by students in Daniel McCusker’s Studies in Dance Composition course as well Jenny Oliver’s Afro-Haitian Roots to Stage course re-envisioning a celebration of ancestors and life. Additional collaborations include costuming by Kyle Artone, lighting by Brian Lilienthal, and sound design from Adam Smith.
