Ring Around the Rose - Spy Hop & The Utah Film Center
February 9, 2013 | 11:00 am
Repertory Dance Theatre's "Ring Around the Rose"
program welcomes the talented artists from Spy Hop Productions and the Utah
Film Center for the first time on February 9, 2013 at 11:00 am.
The Utah Film Center and Spy Hop Productions are teaming up for
an interactive animation experience on the Ring Around the Rose stage. These
Salt Lake City film experts will present some great short films made for and by
kids from the Utah Film Center's Tumbleweeds series. Then the artists will
invite the audience to help make a collaborative on-stage movie using stop
motion animation to tell a story. Lucky volunteers will be invited on stage to
be a part of the magic as the audience watches the whole thing unfold.
Tickets: $5 (not including fees) and free for ages 2 and
under
ArtTix: 801-355-ARTS or www.arttix.org

Ring Around the Rose is a "wiggle-friendly" series
of performances for children and families that explore the magical world of the
arts including dance, theatre, music, and storytelling.
Help RDT with Market Research
Sit on a focus group & get benefits from RDT!
We at RDT are working hard to learn more about our audience
(you!) and we want to hear your opinions! We are working with Utah CRG, a
Market Research group from Utah Valley University, to set up a focus group to
learn more about our audience, donors, students, and patrons.
Everyone who participates in the focus group will receive a
Sapphire Club card and your choice of one of the following:
Two tickets to any upcoming RDT performance (in the next 12
months) or
A 5-class punch card to RDT's Community School or
Two Family Passes (5 tickets each) to RDT's Ring Around theRose program
RDT to honor women in the military this April
Looking for stories from women veterans
Repertory Dance Theatre and the Fort Douglas Museum are
honoring Utah women in the military with a three-night concert event, April
11-13, 2013. Women of Valor...In the Spirit of Service commemorates the 150th
Anniversary of Fort Douglas and pays tribute to women who have served
selflessly in the community and in the military.
Women of commitment, dedication, courage
Women who serve as warriors, wives of warriors
And the mothers of warriors....
The nurses, mechanics, engineers and truck drivers
The pilots, cooks, medics, MPs and teachers
Repertory Dance Theatre and the Utah Military Veterans
Affairs Committee are collecting stories of local women Veterans to highlight
in the lobby of the performance. Stories will be printed and displayed in the
lobby of the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. Women veterans are encouragedto submit their stories using this link. If you or anyone you know is a woman
veteran, please pass this information along.
The military and contemporary modern dance; dramatic
monologues and abstract movement - unusual pairings. There is nothing ordinary
about this concert of modern dance just as there is nothing ordinary about the
selfless and brave women who will be honored.
Young Dancer Workshop
Passport to Partnering
Dates: March 9 &
16, 2013
Time: 1 pm - 4 pm
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center-West Studio
Ages: 13-17
Price: $60
Do you ever wonder how choreographers come up with those
great partnering moments you see in dance concerts? Or how the dancers actually
make them work? Well, here is a workshop for you!
This workshop will expand students' knowledge and skills in
the art of choreography and the mechanics of partnering. RDT dancers will
instruct students in different partnering skills, sequences and composition, as
well as improvisation exercises that will lead to the creation of new
choreography.
RDT is working hard in the schools this month
February is the month of Arts & Education for RDT.
February 5 & 6, RDT will be hosting over 250 Jr. High students for Utah
Dance Education Organization's (UDEO) Jr. High Day of Dance here at the Rose
Wagner Performing Arts Center.
After the madness of Charette has subsided, the dancers will
be traveling throughout the state of Utah visiting schools and communities of
all sizes. Just this month alone, RDT will be visiting schools in the following
districts: Jordan, Granite, Salt Lake, Davis, Canyons, Juab, North Sanpete,
South Sanpete, Washington, Iron, Beaver, and Kane.
Repertory Dance Theatre uses dance as a way to help people
become more connected, compassionate, aware, inspired, original, focused,
courageous, passionate, and human.
RDT's 47 year committment to Arts in Education has created
award winning activities: Performances, Lecture Demonstrations, Workshops,
Classes, and Mentoring opportunites that inspire tens of thousands of students
and teachers each year. Curriculum material relating to history, music, art and
the environment help students make stimulating and valuable connections,
enabling them to appreciate and understand the world.
