The 4-Colleges Dance Company appeared at the May 3rd matinee. The reconstruction was made possible through a program that gave a grant to each state to reconstruct a dance. Because of the small size of RI, instead of competing for the grant, the colleges came together with the knowledge that they would receive the grant. Guest artist Gleb Lyamenhoff, from Festival Ballet of Rhode Island, and alumna Laura Bennett '92 appeared in the "Dimension's" duet originally performed in 1983 by Julie Adams Strandberg and Winthrop Corey, founder and artistic director of Festival Ballet.
