An Evening of Dance

An Evening of Dance

Directed by Marcia Murdock, assisted by William Seigh

A specially commissioned dance by New York choreographer Yanira Castro premieres along with three new works by Keene State College faculty during An Evening of Dance presented by the KSC Department of Theatre and Dance. This annual modern dance concert of original works will be performed by the talented and always engaging Keene State dancers. An Evening of Dance offers nine new modern dance pieces by guest artists, faculty, and students that burst with the creative energy of Keene State’s vibrant dance community.

This year’s concert features the premiere of 7 Dancers + Curtain by Yanira Castro, the 2015-16 choreographer-in-residence for the KSC Theatre and Dance Department. This dance is based on material from Court/Garden, a full evening length multi-media dance performance inspired by the Imperial ballets of Louis XIV’s French Court. 7 Dancers + Curtain is performed by an ensemble of seven KSC dance students who have been working with Castro throughout the academic year. Music is by composer Stephan Moore, the same person who wrote the music for Court/Garden. Castro, a Puerto-Rican born and Brooklyn-based director and choreographer, formed the collaborative group, a canary torsi in 2009.
