University of Montana dance students Chloe Burnstein and Jake Cowden stand in a half-lit stairwell, separated by a full story as they touch the ceiling, roll across the floor and peer at each other over a stair handrail â making a point to use their environment to their advantage.Â
Cowden and Burnsteinâs choreographed dance, âBalanced,â was one in a series of productions that featured UMâs annual American College Dance Association benefit concert on March 24. Unlike previous years, this concert was placed in hallways, lofts and stairwells â not stages.Â
