Dancers in the work Unembedded by Senior Dance Minor Rosie Booker, which appeared in the Fall 2023 Student Choreography Showcase.
The Betsy Blackmon Dance Program at USC will present its Student Choreography Showcase, featuring original works by dance students, April 20-21, 2 p.m. daily, at Drayton Hall Theatre, 1214 College Street.
Tickets may be purchased online at sc.universitytickets.com or at the door.
Presented in both the fall and spring semesters, the Student Choreography Showcase spotlights works that have been created during the semester in a class led by instructor Eduard Forehand. The collaborative nature of the course provides opportunities for constructive dialogue between Forehand, the choreographers, and the performers as the works are being developed.
The concert repertory includes:
Torsion by Rosie Booker, a powerful contemporary work that is an extension of Booker’s senior thesis; Galactic Lover by Beth Bryerton, described by the choreographer as “a love story of sorts; and Behind the Curtain by Ian Kell, which Kell says is “a feel-good contemporary piece” in which the audience gets a look behind the curtain in both a literal and figurative sense.
