Student Dance Project presents original choreography Dec. 3-4

calendar icon18 Nov 2021    

Lincoln, Neb.--The 18th Annual Student Dance Project will be Dec. 3-4 at 7:30 p.m. in the Temple Building’s Studio Theatre.

The annual Student Dance Project is a program of original work by student choreographers in the Glenn Korff School of Music’s dance program.

Tickets for the performance are $7 general admission and $5 for students/seniors and are available in advance from the Lied Center Box Office at (402) 472-4747 or online at https://go.unl.edu/sdp2021. Tickets will also be available at the door.

The Saturday, Dec. 4 performance will also be live webcast. Visit https://music.unl.edu/webcasts the day of the performance for the link.

This year’s program features work by 16 choreographers from Associate Professor of Dance Susan Ourada’s Dance Composition course. 

Auditions are held for this concert on the first Wednesday of the semester, and each choreographer selects their casts from a large array of talented dancers: freshman to seniors, majors and minors, and one another. While largely modern-based, students also draw from their backgrounds in contemporary, jazz, street dance styles and ballet to create their pieces.

In addition, graduate and undergraduate student lighting designers studying with Assistant Professor of Theatre Michelle Harvey in the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film will be lighting the show.

The Temple Building is located at 12th and R streets on the UNL city campus.

Facemasks are currently required indoors on campus. For the latest information on COVID-19 protocols, visit https://covid19.unl.edu
