The Minnesota State University, Mankato Department of Theatre & Dance will present its Spring Dance Concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27 and 28, in the Ted Paul Theatre of the Earley Center for Performing Arts.
In addition to pieces choreographed by Dance faculty Dr. Julie Kerr-Berry and Daniel Stark, the concert will feature works by Andreas Guest Artists Zenon Dance Company of Minneapolis and department adjunct faculty member Jill Lile. Three pieces choreographed by Dance majors Bridget Carlson, Alexa Lautenbach (a new BFA Dance candidate) and Sydney Burch will complete the program.
Stark?s pieces include a restaging of his 2003 work, ?Diplomacy,? and Lile?s is a tarantella, an Italian folk dance usually performed to a lively 6/8 rhythm.
