Pitt Dance Ensemble to Present "Fall Dance Informal" Nov. 1 and 2
PITTSBURGH—Jazz, hip-hop, ballet, tap, and modern styles of dance will be featured
at the University of Pittsburgh Dance Ensemble's "Fall Dance Informal" to be held
Nov. 1 and 2 at 7 p.m. in the Trees Hall Dance Studio, Allequippa and Darragh streets, Oakland.
The title aptly describes the program—student and professional work, completed
choreography, and choreography in progress will take center stage with choreographers
speaking about their works.
Special guests include Pitt's Black Dance Workshop, La Roche College dancers, and the Chartiers Valley High School Dancers under the direction of Chartiers faculty member
Cathy Jenkins. In addition, Scott Lowe, dancer and choreographer with Pittsburgh's
Dance Alloy Theater, will premiere his new work in progress. Invited to choreograph for
Pitt's Dance Ensemble, Lowe has been rehearsing with Pitt students since September. His unusual style of dance blends video, hip-hop, and contemporary dance in a piece to be performed by six of the Pitt ensemble dancers.
The Pitt Dance Ensemble, housed in the Department of Health and Physical Activity and supported by the Student Government Board, is a student dance group that performs
theatrical dance and provides classes, workshops, and master classes for University
students. The students choreograph, perform, and work behind the scenes to produce this and other concerts throughout the year.
A $2 donation is requested at the door. For more information, contact Susan Gillis-Kruman at 412-648-8262 or gillis@pitt.edu.
