Spring dance concert set for March 30 - April 1

Members of the dance ensemble at LSMSA will present their spring dance concert, Refraction, March 30-April 1 in the Black Box of the Center for Performance and Technology.

Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, March 30-31, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 1.

Refraction is a 45-minute original work in the style of contemporary dance directed and choreographed by Audra Allen, instructor of dance at LSMSA.

Utilizing the unique performance venue of the Black Box, Refraction is an experiment of altering the pathways of light by using the human form and fabric. This new work focuses on the movement relationships of Allen’s dancers and their exploration of her choreography. The entire performance is choreographed and performed to music by Marcelo Zarvos.

The event is open to the public, but reservations are required and seating is limited. Tickets are $7 and will be paid for at the door, after a reservation is made online.
