Sightlines : Spring Dance Concert
Craig Hall Coger Theatre, March 28th – March 30th
In theatrical terms, a sightline is the hypothetical line from an observer’s eye to the subject on stage. Good theater design and staging allow unobstructed views of the central action so the audience may experience the full aesthetic impact of the performance. This year’s Spring Dance Concert explores the broader connections between spectators, performers and creators of dance compositions. Going beyond the visual definition of sightlines, these original pieces represent unique perspectives and invite individual interpretations, extending sightlines from the eye to the human psyche. Come experience the beauty and diversity of dance expression and the multilayered meaning of Sightlines! Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/571654496600704/ for ticket info and performance times.
