Jacksonville University Fall Dance Concert features a mix of Jazz

Under the direction of Brian Palmer, division chair of Theatre and Dance, Jacksonville University is proud to present its Fall Dance Concert on November 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22, at 7:30 p.m. in Swisher Theatre on campus. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for seniors, students and military personnel.

The recital will feature eight works varying in style and mood from fun and jazzy to dark and thoughtful. Four resident dance professors including Lana HeyLock and Kristi Johnson will present works entitled "Dukes Place," "Jubalation," Jennifer Muller’s "City" exerpt and "Home."

In addition, the concert features the following three guest-artists: Missy Ponder Reston, who conquers in movement a post-apocalyptic world where future meets funk; JU Alumna Tiffany Sullivan Kavanagh ’02 explores the struggle of transitions in life-changing decisions; and Christian Von Howard challenges the stereotypical presentation of classical ballet movement.

Kavanagh will also perform a self-choreographed solo entitled "For Instance." For reservations or more information, please call the College of Fine Arts at 256-7677.
