Dance student Rodolfo Rafael´s choreography, "Beware of Dogs," was
chosen to be performed at the American College Dance Festival
Association (ACDFA) Northwest Region´s Gala Performance, Friday, 15
March, presented at the Randall Jones Theater on the campus of Southern
Utah University. Festival Adjudicators chose his piece, along with 7
other works out of a pool of 25 dances choreographed by students,
faculty and guest artists.
Schools
convened at Southern Utah University for the American College Dance
Festival Association´s 2013 Northwest Regional Conference, March 12-15,
including internationally known University of Utah Ballet and Modern
Dance Departments, and Brigham Young University Ballet Department. 25
dances were adjudicated. Three professional adjudicators were given
only the name of the dance and the music credits, not knowing if the
work was choreographed by a student, faculty or guest artist.
During
the feedback session adjudicator Helanius Wilkins, director of
EDGEWORKS Dance Theatre in Washington, D.C., called Rodolfo´s
choreography "exquisite." Danced by WSU students Michael Morrison,
Cannon Mulitalo, Lance Tripp and Rod, the work´s "combination of
strength and vulnerability," as Wilkins described, created quite a stir.
