the Cedar Lake and AXIS dance com-panies. The Cedar Lake experience included a choreographic residency for our students with Artistic Director Benoit-Swan Pouffer. This residency was supported not only by Seven Days but by community sponsors as well.

As with the support of the choreographic residency, we could not reach many of our goals without our community. Our support group, Friends of Dance, turned twenty this year and we celebrate their generos-ity and tireless efforts on our behalf. A large portion of the $34,000 in scholar-ships awarded to our stu-dents last year was a result of their efforts. They also sent four faculty and sixteen stu-

dents to the American College Dance Festival southeastern regional confer-ence this year, among other projects. As you finish this walk through the past year with us, please don’t go too far. We need you. If you are in or around Tal-lahassee, come see our concerts or take part in a MANCC entrypoint. Even bet-ter, bring a few friends with you! Join Friends of Dance and reconnect with fellow dance lovers in our community. If you are a teacher, tell your students about us. No matter your connection, please keep in touch. We love to know where you are and what you are doing. Drop us a line from time to time or even better join our “My Family” site and re-connect with friends and get updates on their lives and activities. (Contact Emily Keeler at ekeeler@fsu.edu for details.)

“We are cups, constantly and qui-etly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.” (Ray Bradbury)

Please join us in looking back on our 2007-2008 academic year. Even in times of budget turmoil, we have poured our share of beauty upon the world. Many thanks to our Dean, Sally McRorie and the forward thinking FSU ad-ministration for seeing us through. We could not be who we are without their dedication and support. The foundation of this year’s achievements was as always our community: our students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters. With their efforts, over 110 dance works were created within the department. The drive and initia-tive of our students continued the suc-cess of the informal showing series and began the new tradition of a year-end banquet. Our faculty continued their teaching, creative and research life both here and abroad. Fabulous guest teach-ers and choreographers added to our offerings and broadened our horizons. The Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography grows more exciting each year, and continues to explore new ways to engage our students in visiting artists’ research. This year saw the establishment of a MANCC scholarship fund to assist our dancers who want to continue work with former MANCC artists. Spring saw the in-ception of a new course, “The MANCC Experience”, that upper level dance ma-jors may elect to take to deepen their MANCC connections. And late breaking news is that BFA spring graduate Aline Wachsmuth has just been invited to join the company of Ben Levy, San Francisco MANCC Fellow of 2005-2006, with whom she worked with here in Tallahassee.

Seven Days of Opening Nights continued to enrich our lives by presenting both

Dancing to new heights!

Every year the Department of Dance educates more than 100 dance majors and 400 non-majors, providing them with unparalleled opportunities.

It is with the support of our generous patrons that many of these opportunities are available.

Please help us to continue to provide a superior education for our students and the best in performance for our audiences by contributing to the Department.

The story of Urban Bush Women and JANT-BI started many years ago on two separate continents. Through dance their two worlds would once again unite.

For the members of Urban Bush Wom-en, an all female troupe from New York and JANT-BI, an all male troupe from Senegal, the journey of a lifetime start-ed several years ago as an idea, a seed planted by their award winning artistic directors. When Jawole Zollar, Urban Bush Women founder and artistic di-rector, and noted choreographer and director of JANT-BI, Germaine Acogny, met at a conference in 2004, a seed was planted that has resulted in an extraor-dinary international partnership.

From this seed the two groups con-verged both in the United States and Senegal to unite in dance and to un-derstand histories that were both shared and separate. Their collabora-tion eventually became a full evening length work entitled Les écailles de la mémoire (The scales of memory).

“We have the same color, but not the same culture, because African-Ameri-cans are American,” says Acogny, “So it was really important that they discover who we are.”

The two groups first met in Brooklyn in March 2007, and came to Tallahas-see in the summer of 2007 for the first of a two-part International Exchange through a residency with the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreogra-phy (MANCC). The themes of memory, love, and resistance emerged as the center of their study.

During the two week stay, the two groups not only danced, but also vis-ited slavery sites including African American museums in Tallahassee and Jacksonville, nineteenth century plan-tations where slaves worked and lived, a “hanging” tree, and a traditional Afri-

can American church, and they joined panel discussions by African American historians. These experiences were coupled with work in Senegal, again il-luminating the different histories and cultures of the dancers, and through them all, the work took form.

According to Zollar, “Hopefully there’s not one meaning, so whether you think of it as a journey across the continents, across water, history, culture, gender...we want people to be able to see from their perspective.”

Early in 2008 the groups returned to MANCC with the aid of a prestigious Florida State University AHPEG grant, awarded to Professor Zollar to put final touches on the work. Russell Sandifer, Co-Chair of the Department, was the lighting designer. “He bathes the stage in amber light, softly washing over the dancers like water,” according to Dance Magazine. At the end of the second MANCC exchange The Scales of Mem-ory was presented to an enthusiastic audience in Tallahassee before the beginning of an extensive and equally intensive tour.

The ensemble is touring the United States and Canada, including extreme-ly well reviewed performances at The Kennedy Center. The North American tour ends in November 2008 with the New York premier at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Next Wave Festival. The production will then travel to Es-sen, Germany for presentation at Inter-nationales Tanzfestival NRW 2008, as curated by Pina Bausch.

“The main subject is memory, and then to resist against things like this hap-pening again,” says Acogny, “To resist the oppression of slavery and coloni-zation. Then love is the only means to fight against that, to turn it around, to change people, to change daily life.” Dancer: Bertrand Saky

MANCC establishes student scholarship fund

In January 2008, the preview performance of “Les écailles de la mémoire (The scales of memory)” was held in the Nancy Smith Fichter Dance Theatre as a benefit event for the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography Student Scholarship Fund. Scholarships will be used to enable students to continue working with former MANCC guest artists.

The event was sponsored in part by ProBank, Student Housing Solutions, Parks & Crump, transplant, and Rapid Press.

rtistsEach year the Department of Dance is honored to have many guest artists visit the

Florida State University campus including legendary figures such as Alwin Nikolais, Doug Varone, Susan Marshall, Alonzo King and Barton Mumaw to name a few.

The department’s Spring Guest Teaching Artists included Monica Bill Barnes, Shouze Ma, and Wallie Wolfgruber. All three taught major contemporary and repertory classes and were actively engaged with students, faculty and our dance communities.

Monica Bill Barnes, a 2006-2007 MANCC Fellow, is a New York based choreographer and heads her own company - Monica Bill Barnes & Company. Her work has been presented nationally and internationally by organizations including Jacob’s Pillow, The International Fabbrica for Choreographers (Florence, Italy), The Fourth International Dance and Movement Festival on the Volga (Yaroslav, Russia), Tanz Festival (Karlsruhe, Germany), Sushi Performance and Visual Art (San Diego, CA), DancePlace (Washington, D.C.), and The Philadelphia Museum of Art. Barnes holds an MFA from New York Univer-sity/Tisch School of the Arts.

Shouze Ma was a founding member of the first modern dance company in China. Currently, Shouze Ma is an associate professor in the Department of Dance at Arizona State University and the founder and director of The Visionary Dance Company. While at FSU Ma set his piece “The Secret of the Fan” on FSU dancers, where it was performed for An Evening of Dance in April 2008.

Wallie Wolfgruber, a former principal member of the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, returned to Florida State again to work with the department as a guest artist. Wolfgru-ber’s choreography has been presented in Germany, Canada, France and in NYC at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center, LaMama E.T.C. and with DanceNow and 40up at the Joyce Soho, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater, the Duke Theater on 42nd Street and DTW.

The Department of Dance also held two guest choreographic residencies during the 2007-2008 season.

Alan Danielson, a 1981 Florida State MFA graduate, visited in the fall, taught a master class, and set his piece, “Window of the Heart” on Dance Repertory Theatre dancers. The piece was performed during DRT’s February concert. Danielson is based in New York City, where he teaches, choreographs and directs his company, Dance by Alan Danielson. Danielson also serves as the School Director of the José Limón Institute.

In conjunction with 7 Days of Opening Nights, Benoit-Swan Pouffer, Artistic Director of Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, created an original work entitled “The Tent” for An Evening of Dance. The circus inspired work was a collaboration of many at Florida State. Tim Glenn created the accompanying film while the FSU Circus shared their space for several of the scenes.

Choreographic residencies would not be possible without the generous sponsorships of community members. “The Tent” was made possible in part by Ken and Kathryn Cashin, Curva & Associates, Jesse and Hope Suber, and Jay and Susan Walton.

he art of dancing is usually pictured on a stage, with an audience, performed live. This past year four dance students went behind the scenes and learned the fine art of dance photography.

The class was taught by Assistant Professor Rick McCullough, who is both an accom-plished choreographer and photographer in his own right. McCullough got his start in photography early in his dance career, photographing sites while touring. The more pho-tos he took the more he was in demand. He eventually earned a degree in commercial photography from Randolph Community College and his required internships led him to New York City to study with well-known photographers Lois Greenfield and Eduardo Patino.

Through a FSU Equipment and Infrastructure Enhancement Grant McCullough was able to purchase equipment for an elective dance photography class. Teaching both gradu-ates and undergraduates, the class focused on building a portfolio and enhancing pho-tography with digital editing programs. Students spent many hours in the studio captur-ing images of dancers and visiting artists.

Whitney Earnhardt, a 2008 spring graduate, said of the class, “I loved that I learned how to express my love of dance through another medium. It is also an-other skill I learned at Florida State that I can take with me.”

McCullough will continue the class during the 2008-2009 school year.

Workshop for Young DancersPhotos: Emily Keeler

DePartmeNt oF DaNCe �

While the primary focus of the Department of Dance is the training of collegiate students, more and more young dancers are benefiting from the talents of the resident faculty, staff and visiting artists that grace the hallways of Mont-gomery Hall.

Each winter Friends of Dance, the support orga-nization for the Depart-ment of Dance, hosts the annual Workshop for Young Dancers. Celebrat-ing its seventh year, the workshop once again fea-tured world-renowned ballerina and Florida State Eppes Professor, Su-zanne Farrell, as well as Lynda Davis with Dance Repertory Theatre danc-ers, Tim Glenn, Gerri Hou-lihan, Sheila Humphreys, Rick McCullough, and Dionne Sparkman Noble. What started as a small affair seven years ago has grown quickly, with stu-dents from around the country now flying in for the two day workshop. Over 100 dancers rang-ing in age from 10 to 18 participated in this year’s event. Classes included ballet, modern, and jazz, as well as classes in dance technology and choreog-raphy.

After the continued suc-cess of the workshop and the demand for a longer and more comprehensive training workshop, the Department decided to host a longer training in-tensive.

Premiering in the sum-mer of 2008 was the first Florida State University Summer Dance Intensive held for young dance students. Designed for the well-rounded

student interested in all forms of dance, the two week long intensive allowed young dancers to live, eat, and breathe dance with fellow students.

From June 15-29 the stu-dents participated in daily classes in conditioning, modern, ballet, pointe work and repertory with Florida State University dance fac-ulty. Evenings were filled with special programs including hip hop, salsa, technology classes and a college night to explore the world of dance at the col-legiate level.

“This is a great opportunity for the dancers,” according to Joyce Fausone, Director of the workshop. “Students are able to work with the distinguished faculty and use the Department’s state-of-the-art facilities.”

For many, the workshop was also an opportunity to experience what life as a dance major at Florida State might entail.

Says Fausone, “These young dancers are using the same facilities and working with the same faculty that our students work with on a daily basis.”

Students from all over the country auditioned for the two week intensive. The fifty selected participants represent many states, some as far away as Texas, Tennessee and Ohio.

Information about the two annual events is posted on the Department’s website at dance.fsu.edu. To join the

mailing list for these and other Department of Dance events contact Emily Keeler at ekeeler@fsu.edu.

Luciana Achugar began development of The Sublime is Us at MANCC by experimenting with tactile reflection and further investigating her questions about infiltrating an audience mem-ber’s experience during live performance. Entrypoints and audience feedback during the development process confirmed and challenged Achugar’s choreographic experiments related to audience sensation, transparency and vulnerability.

Nami Yamamoto used her fellowship to shape the choreo-graphic arc for a howling flower prior to its world premiere. Yamamoto worked with her full cast including Tony the puppet, and puppet advisor, Deanna Acheson, to meticulously accentu-ate and enhance the nuances of the dancers and puppet within the full work.

Nora Chipaumire, a self-exiled choreographer from Zimbabwe collaborated with Zimbabwean composer/musician Thomas Mapfumo and musicians from the Blacks Unlimited. FSU stu-dents and faculty from various Departments aided in her re-search on topics related to the migrant body, ancestral body, Zimbabwean inflation, and gender/self identity, which helped inform and advance her new work.

Yannis Adoniou investigated humor and kinesthetic depro-gramming with the community and two of his company danc-ers. Filmmaker and dramaturge, Talal Al-Muhanna assisted the research which included measuring audience response to various props, sound scores, juxtaposition, lighting, movement speed and verbal expression.

Kate Weare concentrated her research on unearthing a deep-er potential for clashes and connections between sound and dance. To address this for her newest work Bridge of Sighs, Weare invited composer/violinist David Ryther to create live sound improvisations with the dancers. These exchanges af-forded Weare the opportunity to deeply investigate the rela-tionship between the two mediums.

Deborah Hay, acknowledged by critics and historians as one of the most influential representatives of experimental dance today, spent two weeks creating If I Sing to You, a new work commissioned by the William Forsythe Company. A cast of six distinguished international performers joined Hay to hone the score of the work and experiment with costuming and audi-ence participation.

Renowned choreographer, performer and educator marga-ret Jenkins and her company re-staged A Slipping Glimpse at MANCC prior to its U.S. tour. Collaborators included the Tanusree Shankar Dance Company (Calcutta, India) and Paul Dresher Ensemble. The residency provided an opportunity to restage the work with new dancers, and condense the set for touring purposes.

Tim Glenn didn’t grow up dreaming of grand proj-ects in dance technology. In fact, computers were still a new and exciting technology when he was a child. As a young dancer fresh out of college from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he joined the Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis Dance Company. During this time he was exposed to Nikolais’s work with projections, costumes and movement, forming a base knowledge of the world of dance technology. However, it was an op-portunity back at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that opened up the world of dance technology. Glenn returned to his alma mater where he started a degree in In-terArts and Technology, hoping to take a few classes here and there as a “hobby,” when that hobby turned into a new career.

That expert knowledge of tech-nology and choreography will be showcased this fall when Glenn conducts his Tallahassee premiere of Embodiments of Silence. The work, first performed in 1996, was inspired by stories from his family history and growing up in the rural south.

For the piece, Glenn says “We all have experiences and images of the past we recall, and I hope to create moments that the audience can relate to.”

Lines of balancing and symmetry are common themes throughout the piece. For the 2008 production, the choreography remains most-ly unchanged. However, audiences will be treated

Bottom: FSU student Jason Macdonald dancing the same role in 2008 at Florida State University.Photo: Jon Nalon

to the world premiere of a corresponding video of the work following the live per-formance. The video version,

while incorporating much of the same choreography, will be adapted to the screen and include an addi-tional solo dream sequence.

As well as presenting Embodiments of Silence, Glenn will be on sabbatical during the 2008-2009 school year. He plans to collaborate with New Zealand director and producer Clin-ton Bradley, along with many other well known experts, to create Orga-Mecha – a full evening-length pro-duction of dance and technology. The goal for the team is ‘to breathe life and amazement into the emo-tional and visceral connections we all feel to both the natural and tech-nological, which have become equal in most of our lives in an evolution-ary sense.’ Glenn will act as the video projection designer for the project, which will feature a custom-built video theater.

In addition to his often hectic sched-ule, Glenn wears many hats. Each summer since 2001 he has taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Dance Program’s Dance Millennium

Summer Dance Intensive. He is a lead-er in the world of dance documenta-tion, teaches both technology and modern dance technique classes at Florida State University and is an ac-tive choreographer. His many talents bring the best of two worlds – dance

and technology – to the students and the commu-nity at Florida State.

Dance Repertory Theatre, the resident repertory company, vigorously met another year as they participated in events both on and off the Florida State Uni-versity campus. Chosen by audi-tion, the dancers present a home concert as well as performances for local museums, benefits and community festivals.

Highlighting the year was the annual DRT In Concert held in January, led by the Artistic Direc-tor, Lynda Davis. Guest choreog-raphers for the concert included Lynda Davis, Rick McCullough, Anthony Morgan, Patty Phillips and a restaging by Sheila Hum-phreys. Choreographer and FSU alum , Alan Danielson, also set his piece Window of the Heart on DRT dancers for the concert.

In conjunction with the January performance, DRT held a chil-dren’s matinee the week of the concert. Over 200 area students came to Montgomery Hall to learn about dance and to view an abbreviated performance.

In February DRT participated in the Fine Arts Festival, an annual event in February celebrating the arts in the Tallahassee com-munity. The event was held at

the Tallahassee Museum as part of the Seven Days of Opening Nights festivities.

Continuing their activities, the group also organized In The Works, an evening of informal showings of works in progress from various disciplines. This

year’s presenters included Cyn-thia Hollis from the Mary Bro-gan Museum, Aline Wachsmuth, Andy Noble, Dan Wagoner and Gerri Houlihan.

The group gave lecture-dem-onstrations to hundreds of FSU students through Honors Collo-quium classes and First Year Ex-perience Leadership events. The performances demonstrated how dancers train, aspects of the choreographic process and ex-cerpts from repertory.

In addition to the many perfor-mances, DRT continued its mas-ter class series featuring guest artists A’Keitha Carey (Afro Carib-bean), Jennifer Atkins (Tap) and Danzas Españolas (Flamenco).

According to Davis, the goals of the student group are repertory study and performance, commu-nity and school links, curriculum links and collaborations with other artists, campus depart-ments and organizations.

Mancc anD DtW PartnershiPMANCC and Dance Theater Workshop (DTW) have launched an institutional partnership to provide creative devel-opment residencies for artists receiving commissioning and presentational support from DTW. This new initiative will engage choreographers, their col-laborators and performers to pursue artistic experimentation that includes a process-driven residency within FSU’s comprehensive academic research setting. The artists then will access resources at DTW, an internationally recognized performing arts venue, to further develop and present their work. Selected artists will have access to the extensive resources of both institutions. The goal is to deepen the commitment to contemporary chore-ographers through the integration of resources needed to create work over time, from inception to final product. The first artist to receive support was award-winning director, dance and video artist Dean Moss, whose MANCC residency took place June 15 - 30, 2008.

Friends of Dance celebrated their 20th anniversary with a wine gala held in honor of Nancy Smith Fichter, former Chair of the department and founder of Friends of Dance. The event was held at The Fresh Market and featured gour-met food and wine.

Nancy served as the Chair for 33 years and her choreographic legacy includes more than 90 original works. Her dedication to dance at Florida State devel-oped a number of students who have gone on to perform and teach at top dance schools and perform-

ing organizations. She continues her inspiring leadership through her chore-ography and graduate level classes.

This historic event was attended by over 200 community members and raised nearly $6,000 for the Friends of Dance Scholarship Fund. During their 20 year history the group has awarded over $160,000 in scholarships to deserving dance students and hosted the annual Workshop for Young Dancers. Friends of Dance continues to raise funds to provide financial support for the policies, projects and activities of the Department of Dance, as well as encouraging participation and attendance of various productions.
