Primordium
May 30th, 2008
Here’s a photo from the Ohio University Senior Dance Concert that I photographed a couple weeks ago. The dance is called “Primordium.” Choreographer: Quiterie Gianina-Gabrielle Dancers: R. Eric Hill, Chelsea S. Goettge, Ryan Dick and Monica Pack Lighting Designer: Joshua Willett
Program note: Primordium: In embryology, an organ or tissue in its earliest developmental stage. Primordial cells are the first differentiated dividing cells in the fertilized ovum.
The senior concerts fulfill the capstone requirement for the BFA in Dance. The dances are original works choreographed by senior dance majors and are performed by seniors and other students in the School of Dance. The seniors are responsible for organizing and producing the concert including publicity, programs, costumes, sound and video. Some of them also stage manage the shows, design the lighting and handle the group’s finances.
It’s always a pleasure to be involved with the productions by these talented young people.
