Women of Valor...In the Spirit of Service
April 11-13 | 7:30
pm
|
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
Choreography and dramatic monologues will pay tribute to the service,
sacrifice, dedication, duty, and the strength of women.
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.
Proceeds from the April 11 benefit performance of Women of
Valor will support the Utah Women's Military Memorial at the Fort Douglas
Museum. VIP tickets are available for $75 and offer priority seating as well
as admission to a post-concert reception featuring honored guests.
Several distinguished guests will be honored, including retired Air Force
Brigadier General Wilma Vaught, the driving force behind the
establishment of the Women In Military Service For America Memorial at
the gateway to Arlington National Cemetery.

Ring Around the Rose - Ripple Tales
April 13, 2013 |
11:00 am
|
A
CELEBRATION OF RIPPLE TALES
with
Rosalind Newmark and Mary J-C
Join Ripple Tales and their crazy cast of characters for a lively event
of storytelling -
3 tales woven into one
with song, dance, and mischief!
Experience what
happens along the detoured route to Granny's.
Hear your first opera
singing fungus, witness pirate soccer, and learn why you should never
touch the uvula...
Rosalind Newmark and Mary Johnston-Coursey have collaborated in
storytelling, dance and music for over 20 years. Through Ripple Tales,
they create their own stories, as well as re-tell both classic and
contemporary stories. Their mark as storytellers is to develop the
characters in surprising and delightful ways, with unexpected turns to
the plot, while inviting the audience to participate in the telling of
the story through sound and movement play.
Tickets: $5 (not including fees) and free for ages 2 and
under

On March 22, 6,521
Utahns donated to their favorite nonprofits for a total of $633,533.
Happily, RDT received donations from 71 unique donors for a
total of $4,130 (including matching grants). These new funds will help
off-set the costs RDT annually accrues to license dances for our
celebrated TIME CAPSULE: A CENTURY OF DANCE program. [click here to watch video
excerpts]
Whether you donated $10 or $500, each donation functioned as
a "vote" for RDT's participation. At 11:59 pm, March 22, when
the biggest day of online giving in Utah ended, RDT ranked #10 in our
category of medium-sized nonprofits.
Thank you all for your support! And... Special thanks goes
to our matching donors who helped your donation go twice as far:
Anonymous
Catalyst Foundation
South Valley Creative Dance

"vote" for RDT this year? Don't worry. You can still add to our
total donation amount right now. [click here] And
