Brown University Theatre / Sock And Buskin present the Dance Ensemble Spring Concert

This concert highlighted the diversity of the dance program and included classical ballet, tap, movement theatre, lyrical modern dance, a stilt walker, The Dogon Dama, and a historical work by Eve Gentry. Undergraduate choreographers Jessica Gaynor and Chris Elam would go on to have distinguished careers in the dance field. Kate Solmsenn, choreographer of "Myth of the Pleides," was a Resumed Undergraduate Education (RUE) student. Many RUE students have been dancers who, like Kate, enriched the dance program by sharing their experiences as professional dancers with their younger undergraduate classmates. Dance Extension, directed by Julie Adams Strandberg, was featured in Anne-Alex Packard's "Angels in the Attic," Eve Gentry's 1938 "Tenant of the Street," and David Parsons', "The Envelope." This concert was followed by Act III in the Ashamu Dance Studio on Friday and Saturday nights to highlight experimental student works and included Peter Glantz, Jason Yost, Vanessa Jacobson, Kate James, Sarah Leddy, Nick Yagoda, and others. Julie Adams Strandberg's director's note encouraged audiences to trust themselves to understand dance. The program also included a note about the mission of The American Dance Legacy Institute (ADLI), co-founded by Carolyn Adams and Julie Adams Strandberg. ADLI lives on through dance-based programming at the Brown University Library and off-campus through Dancing Legacy, an organization that invites anyone to engage with American dance as a cultural asset relevant to all.
