Student Choreographers include Erika Balagot, Ella Dierberger, Madelyn Falteisek, Nick Garcia, Jenna Grochow, Courtney Harms, Adyson Johnson, Hannah Ose, Tatum Reitter, Taylore Storlie, and Adelle Vietor. Each piece has been designed through personal experiences, original ideas, and styles.
Dancescape Artistic Director, Gretchen Cohenour, has created an original piece Tether, a new quartet that plays with “the ties that bind relationships and life.” Two guest choreographies will be premiered including Dark Ecology, created by the WSU Lyceum-sponsored Body Cartography Project, and Minneapolis choregrapher Berit Ahlgren’s Story.
Lighting designers of the production include faculty member Peggy Sannerud, guest designer Samantha Heaver, and students Ella Dierberger, Andy Glischinski, Gavin Johnson, and Cameron Lornston.
Two works, Adelle Vietor’s Ask the Moon, and Erin Drummond’s Xx as seen in Dancescape 2017, will be representing the THAD Department at the American College Dance Festival. Joining these two will be a new solo piece by Nick Garcia.
