Student Choreographers Present 'Through the Artists' Eyes' Concert at SUNY Potsdam

POTSDAM, NY (11/22/2016)(readMedia)-- The SUNY Potsdam Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to present the annual Student Choreographers Concert, titled "Through the Artists' Eyes."

Nineteen choreographers, under the guidance of Dr. Robin Collen, have created dance works that range in aesthetic sensibility and style -- with influences from contemporary dance, hip-hop, African dance and ballet.

The 19 dance works will be divided between two programs, which will all be performed in the Dance Theater, located in the SUNY Potsdam Performing Arts Center.

Program A will be presented on Friday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m., and on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 2 p.m. Program B will be offered on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 5:30 p.m., and on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2 p.m.

Admission is free, but a ticket is required, as seating is limited. Tickets are available at the door, beginning one hour before show time.

From directing, choreographing, acting and dancing, to designing and technical work, theatre and dance are highly collaborative art forms at SUNY Potsdam. Students and professionals engage in creative problem solving, requiring the setting and meeting of long-term goals, and the analysis and understanding of movement and dramatic literature.
