At Kelsey Theatre June 4-5
5/13/11
West
Windsor, N.J. - The Mercer Dance Ensemble presents "Poetry
in Motion" at Mercer County Community College's Kelsey Theatre.
Performances will be held Saturday, June 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday,
June 5 at 2 p.m. Under the direction of instructor Janell Byrne,
fifteen dancers will present a show that incorporates a variety
of dance styles as it celebrates the body in motion. The ensemble
features the college's dance students and community dancers. Kelsey
Theatre is located on the college's West
Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
In
addition to choreography by Byrne, two dance alumni will contribute
choreography. Jennifer Gladney, a dancer with the American Repertory
Ballet Theatre, will choreograph two pieces, and Han Koon Oi is
choreographing a piece with Asian influences. Among the dance styles
are modern, classical and jazz.
Tickets
are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for students. Tickets
may be purchased online,
in person at the Kelsey Theatre box office, or by phone at 609-570-3333.
Free parking is available next to the theatre. Kelsey Theatre is
wheelchair accessible and provides assisted listening devices upon
request.
The
MCCC Dance program includes the study of jazz, ballet, and modern
dance styles from the fundamentals to advanced instruction. With
the benefit of small classes and individualized instruction, students
may earn either an A.A. degree, which prepares them for transfer
as juniors into a bachelor of arts program in Dance, or an A.F.A.
degree in the Performing Arts, a transfer program in which they
combine conservatory training in theatre, dance and music with education
in the liberal arts and sciences.
Tickets
for Kelsey Theatre's Summer Series are now on sale. Offerings include
"Twelfth Night," "Oklahoma!", "13 the Musical,"
"Forever Plaid," and "Camp Muckalucka."
