Sesqui theme for Theatre, Dance concert
By PATRICIA DONOVANNews Services Editor
Performances will continue through Oct. 27 at 8 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays in the Drama Theatre in the Center for the Arts on the UB North Campus.
Ticket prices are $10 (general admission) and $5 (students, seniors, children). Tickets may be obtained before the show at the Center for the Arts box office, 645-ARTS, or through all Ticketmaster outlets, 852-5000.
Choreographers Linda Swiniuch, Tom Ralabate, Lynne Kurdziel-Formato, Shelley Hain, Tressa Gorman Crehan and William Thomas will interpret the sesquicentennial theme by exploring new and old frontiers in music, movement and music.
Thomas' work will be the result of a collaboration with composer Damien Simon and based on daily encounters between people on city streets. In a composition titled "Breaking the Re," Crehan will contrast the 18th- and 19th-century music of Bach and Beethoven with a contemporary vision of dancers in flight. Swiniuch's "Madrigal" will marry the vocals by rock musician Patty Smith and jazz vocalist Cleo Lane in a bitter tale of love found and lost.
The program will be directed by Swiniuch. Set designs will be by visiting Cuban artist Leandro Soto.
