Ring Around the Rose w/ Repertory Dance Theatre
September 14 | 11:00 am |
|
RDT will open the 2013-2014 Ring Around the Rose season by bringing together two dimensional art with three dimensional dancing. Could you dance a color? Could you draw an emotion? Could you create a movement map? Audience members will be invited on-stage to answer these questions and both draw and dance with the artists of RDT. This hands-on experience will turn that doodle on paper into a fun dancing phrase. Expand your mind and let your creativity flourish!
Who: Repertory Dance Theatre
What: Ring Around the Rose
When: September 14, 2013 | 11:00 am
Where: Jeanne Wagner Theatre at Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center (138 W 300 S, SLC)

October 3-5 | 7:30 pm |

RDT begins our 48th season with a tribute to our dance legacy.
The centerpiece for this stirring concert will be modern dance legend, José Limón's masterwork, "Missa Brevis." This monumental work is a memento to cities destroyed during World War II and to those unconquerable qualities in human beings that compel the spirit to rise in hope and to survive. The choreography features 22 dancers including RDT and guests from BYU Division of Dance and Utah Valley University who will perform to a powerful score by Zoltán Kodály.
Also on the concert are works by Doris Humphrey, Ted Shawn, Bill Evans, and Ze'eva Cohen -- all legacies in the history of modern dance and of RDT.

Missa Brevis: Nexus of Faith, Art and War, a symposium
October 2 | 7:00 pm |
 |
In our fall show LEGACY, a significant piece of history is being commemorated: the rise of a near-devastated people from the ashes of World War II. “Missa Brevis” is more than a dance, it calls to mind how humans navigate faith, art and war. In conjunction with the performance of LEGACY, RDT invites the public to a symposium where you can hear the story behind “Missa Brevis,” ask questions and contribute to an important conversation that is likely to continue as long as we’re all human. Join us for this FREE panel discussion and screening of an excerpt of Missa Brevis, prior to the opening of our fall concert.
DATE: Oct. 2, 2013
TIME: 7:00 pm
LOCATION: Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA), 20 S. West Temple (801) 328-4201 (adjacent to Abravanel Symphony Hall)
Featuring:
Caroline Prohosky (Contemporary Dance, BYU)
Dr. Jerry L. Jaccard, (BYU School of Music, Kodaly scholar)
Dodge Billingsley (CFR Media/Combat Films and Research)
Maximilian Werner, (Asst. Professor, Writing Program UofU and author)--moderator

From the blog...
While doing some research on a blog post about re-staging dances, I came across a very interesting article about Anna Sokolow’s Lyric Suite. This is a dance that RDT has done – many of the current members were in the cast. Hearing this writer talk about the moments in the dance conjured up vivid memories of my own ... click here to read more
