Raechal Smith performs the piece Chacun pour soi choreographed by Jonathan Jackson. Paige Mulick, Publicity Assistant for the Winter Gala Dance Concert
Western Michigan Universityâs School of Theater and Dance will be presenting its Winter Gala Concert virtually this year. With the help of Zoom, digital recording and editing, the students and faculty showcase their choreographed dances through several individual projects despite COVID-19 restrictions.
âThe pieces are all different,â said Megan Slayter, the Associate Director of Dance. âThe students have been outstanding with figuring out how to utilize their given space restrictions.â
COVID-19 restrictions require all persons to remain at least 6 feet apart standing. However, with the space for movement needed for the dances, they were required to stand even farther apart from each other.
