UNC
Asheville’s Dance Program will present two performances – the Fall Dance
Sharing, both beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1,
in Belk Theatre on campus. These performances are free and everyone is welcome
to attend.
Student
and faculty works will be presented, with lighting and stage management
provided by students in the Drama Department. Some student works have been
created in choreography courses in site specific and experimental dance
making, while others stem from independent study in improvisation and
composition, and movement research, or by dance students separate from course
work. Senior Lane Wagner will connect dance, posture and gender identity –
using what he has learned and experienced as part of his dance minor to inform
and express his ideas for his capstone in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies.
UNC
Asheville’s Dance Program is directed by Celia Bambara, assistant professor of
dance. In addition to her teaching, Bambara maintains a bi-national dance
company in the Ivory Coast and North Carolina. She directs the CCBdance
Project, which she co-founded in 2006 with Christian Bambara, to promote
intercultural understanding and peace through experimental African-based
contemporary dance. The company has performed in many nations in Africa and the
Americas, and received grants from the U.S. State Department, the Puffin
Foundation and others.
