Rebecca Lee set challenging choreographic works the morning and afternoon dancers during her residency in February. Ms. Lee, an alumna of the Fine Arts Center, received her BFA from Columbia College in Columbia, S.C., and her MFA from Florida State University. She has been a company member with Dance Repertory Theatre in Tallahassee, Fla., and the Power Company in Columbia, S.C. She has been a guest artist with Wildwood Ballet and with Christian von Howard in the Von Howard Project in New York City. Her dances, "Crispitudo Caelum" and "Isomorphous" will be performed in the FAC Concert on April 26.
Teri Goddard, a costume designer, designed and created the costumes for "Chaconne," choreographed by guest artist Tim Glenn. Assisting Ms. Goddard was Meade Inglis, a current Visual Arts student at the Fine Arts Center. Teri Goddard created costumes in the past for such dance pieces as "Mud," choreographed by Lisa Wheeler, when her daughter, Danielle Goddard, attended the Fine Arts Center.
The Fine Arts Center Dance Concert is April 26 in the Wade Hampton High School Theatre at 7 p.m. The repertory will include choreography by Tim Glenn (Associate Professor in the School of Dance at Florida State University and former dancer with Nikolais & Murray Louis Dance Company), Sara Procopio (founding member and former Artistic Associate of Shen Wei Dance Arts), Tyler Gilstrap (founding member of Battleworks Dance Company and featured dancer in such films as Across the Universe, directed by Julie Taymor), Andrew Kuharsky (Director of the Greenville Ballet) and Rebecca Lee (Wildwood Ballet and alumna of the Fine Arts Center).
On Feb. 14, the afternoon dancers had the privilege of taking a master class with two cast members from the National Tour of "Billy Elliot: The Musical" at the Peace Center. The dancers learned a dance that was a compilation of various sections of the show -- it was non-stop dancing for the entire hour-long class!
Vincas Greene, professor of Dance at Brenau University in Gainesville, Ga., taught master classes on Jan. 31. He received his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and has trained with dance artists Merce Cunningham, Mark Morris and Gerri Houlihan, among others.
