A Message from Dance Division Director Andrea Shearer

Hello students!

With the beginning of August, we are only weeks away from the start of the 2010-11 school year. The date brings on a sense of urgency for faculty and staff as we scramble to prepare for your arrival on campus.

The Dance Division’s move to the new office and studio spaces in Music and Speech is complete, more or less. We are deeply grateful to Ms. Roe Green whose financial support made this move possible and whose love of Theatre and Dance continues to sustain and inspire us.

The studio space is huge, the sprung floors are more resilient than those we have had in the past and the whole place has a feeling of power and energy. Details such as sound systems, projection screens and projectors, a piano and bulletin boards still aren’t quite there yet, but for the most part, we are ready for YOU! DO remember to come to Music and Speech for your classes!

Just one reminder about the Dance Majors/Minors Meeting on Wednesday, September 1 at 6:15 PM in MSP 303. PLEASE NOTE: That is MSP 303, and not the Faculty lounge in the Annex! As usual, there will be pizza and beverages prior to the meeting.

Also, please pencil in Sept. 2 when Dance Majors and Minors are requested to meet in the Black Box Theatre at 6:30 PM. More info on that at our Sept. 1 meeting.

And, while you are at it, reserve Friday, Sept. 3 from 4:15-6:15 for Dance 2010: TranscenDANCE auditions. (Let your parents know you won’t be home for the long Labor Day weekend until a little later!)

This is a unique and special time for Theatre and Dance at KSU; I am so looking forward to sharing this momentous year with all of you.

See you real soon!

—Andrea Shearer (Associate Professor/Dance Division Director)
