Students Honored at American College Dance Festival
Dance professor Kristin Horrigan writes:
During Valentine's Day weekend, eleven Marlboro students and I went to the American College Dance Festival New England Conference at Boston University, an event that was attended by students and faculty from 36 colleges and universities. Each institution had the opportunity to present two dances (choreographed by students, faculty, or guest artists, and performed by students) for adjudication by a panel of three professional choreographers. The adjudicators gave feedback about each dance to the choreographers and performers, and then they selected 11 of the 45 dances presented for re-presentation in a gala concert at the end of the conference.
Marlboro's dances -- a solo choreographed and performed by Amity Jones '10 and a duet choreographed by Andre Morgan '12 and performed by Amity and Andre (pictured here) -- were both selected for the gala. This was a huge honor for the students and also some wonderful recognition for the college, as Marlboro was the only college to be represented twice in the gala.
