The UNK Dance Department has been hard at work preparing their spring dance concert. The production featured astonishing work by faculty members as well as select students.
According to the UNK website, âRESET speaks to finding breath in the chaotic, isolating and often disheartening, seeking instead opportunities for new insights and self-reflection in a moment of growth.â
The concert featured 19 performers from UNK, along with student and faculty designers. There were 12 pieces presented in total, including the Community Project/Solo Series.
Faculty choreographers include Noelle Bohaty, the director of the dance program, and Leslie Abegglen, a dance faculty member. Student choreographers include Allyson Fricke, Hannah Petersen, Rebekah Petersen, Emma Newman, Morgan Wadkins-Meyer and Julia Young.
