Directors’ Notes

A warm welcome to Afterimages 2011. We are excited to share an array of new modern, ballet, contemporary, and jazz student choreography with you. The official Afterimages 2011 process began in September with the development of 24 original choreographic projects. After a semester of new discoveries, growth, and many rehearsals, you are about to experience ten unique dances in this intimate space, the Noel Fine Arts Center Studio Theatre.

Each year, many are inspired by the range of choreographic talent and the unique ideas that are brought to life in Afterimages. Once again, our admirable dancers have fully committed themselves to the artistic process and to realizing the visions of their choreographers. Their passion for the art of dance is revealed in each piece as they work honestly and expressively toward a common goal. We could not ask for a more dedicated group of artists.

In October, the dance program produced the third annual, Afterimages Outtakes. The informal studio performances featured an additional 14 inspired and inventive dances. Afterimages Outtakes gives choreographers and dancers the chance to share their hard work with family and friends - we were thrilled by the full houses for both of the Outtakes performances.

Afterimages is created entirely through the collaboration of many talented students who come together to choreograph, perform, direct, design, run, and publicize this exceptional production. Afterimages would not be possible without all of these contributors and we are very grateful for their support. We would also like to extend our sincerest of praise to all of our Department mentors, especially Michael Estanich and the rest of the dance faculty. The encouragement and devotion we received from them throughout the entire Afterimages process was truly awe-inspiring.

Thank you for attending this performance - now please sit back, relax, and let the power of dance inspire you!
