Space and Opportunity

Junior year is coming to a close-- from all the ups and downs, big papers to write, and exercise prescriptions. We approached the Dance 10 concert weekend with excitement about getting to show off the hard work and dedication that we put into this show. It's very exciting for the School of Theater and Dance, for this was the first concert with the dancers being moved in to our new studio space, even though we are performing in the same theater as in years past. This gave us the choice of either warming up on stage or in the BRAND NEW studios. Having this choice is simply amazing. Having the new space that is bigger, more body-forgiving and with an amazing sound system won my heart over. Also this allowed for us to be warmer too, because in the past, the Stump stage is not only unforgiving on the body but you may also remain cold because of the air control on the stage. So this meant that layers of clothes would stay on. Being a third year dance major, having the opportunity and choice is something I did not imagine would happen before I graduated. It was nice to have the opportunity to try out warming up in the studio vs. the stage. I look forward to senior year and knowing that that experience might become apart of the the new tradition. It was definitely worth the test run.
