UNH to Showcase Student Talent in Theatre & Dance
DURHAM, NH: The 145 majors in the UNH
Department of Theatre & Dance have many opportunities to showcase their talents.
From Main stage productions to class work to student produced pieces, there are
over 20 performance opportunities in any given season. Perhaps the most
anticipated student works are the Student Showcases at the end of each semester.
Students studying Musical Theatre, Dance, Aerial Dance and Puppetry each choose
material to choreograph, direct, costume, select the music and perform. This
semester, these innovative and inspiring events are once again open to the
public.
April 29, students studying Musical Theatre will present songs and numbers from
their favorite musicals. These will include solos, chorale work, and ensemble
song and dance pieces. Minimal costumes and props help to place focus on each
student, as he or she performs personal favorites.
May7th, students studying the Aerial Arts will spin and twirl, showcasing their
athleticism, grace and fearlessness high above the Newman Dance Studio on
fabric, trapezes, and the lyra, a circular hoop that looks like a hula hoop. If
you have never been to a Cirque De Soliel production, this is a great way to see
this relatively new dance form in an intimate setting. UNH is the only
university in the nation offering the Aerial Arts as part of a Liberal Arts
degree program.
May 12, students studying Dance will have the opportunity to select their own
music, costuming and dance partners in an evening of jazz, tap, ballet and
theatre dance. Solos, trios, ensembles, and a couple of large cast numbers will
be featured, as dancers select and perform material that has special meaning to
each of them.
Tickets to Student Showcases are $3.50, except for the Dance
Showcase, which is $5.00.
Musical Theatre Showcase: Apr. 29 in the Hennessy Theatre at 7:00 p.m.
Aerial Dance Showcase: May 7th in the Newman Dance Studio at 7:00 p.m.
Dance Showcase: May 12 in the Johnson Theatre at 7:00 p.m.
This nonprofit event is funded solely by those who participate. For more information, visit www.unh.edu/theatre-dance.
