On the evening of February 4th, I braved the cold weather to attend the Margaret Jenkins Dance Company's second showing of their East Coast premiere of Light Moves at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. The audience had the pleasure of hearing Margaret Jenkins herself speak before the show. She exclaimed that this would be the third time her company performed at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, and that her company had started working on the Light Moves project over a year ago. She explained that the show was inspired by the element of inquiry and tried to answer questions through dance.

The one show I've made sure not to miss through my four years of undergraduate education has been the Choreographers' Showcase. Every year I have been impressed with the originality of the pieces and the pure talent of the dancers.

Lifelong learners, divine divas, culture bearers and more — they all came together at the Center in November 2010 for Water Is Rising: Music and Dance Amid Climate Change.

Being a part of the audience of the 29th Annual Choreographers' Showcase helped me confirm the reasons for an event taking place for such a long time. It was an experience that everyone should live, even if dance isn't your forte. The dancers demonstrate a diversity of choreography that swept me off of my feet. Although I have such a minimal dance history, I know that this showcase housed spectacular techniques from start to finish.

“So happy to be here!” In October 2011, patrons talked about RENT, the arts and themselves.
