The 2015-16 Season of the Arts finishes up with a bang with their annual spring dance show. Dancers have been training all year and will present “The Dance of the Zodiac” in 4 performances on Friday, April 29 at 7:30 pm, Saturday, April 30 at 2 pm and 7:30 pm, and Sunday, May 1 at 2 pm in Siena Hall on the Justin Siena campus.
In “Dance of the Zodiac” dancers will portray the essence of each astrological sign through movement and bring the signs to life. This performance will showcase the talents of the students in Justin-Siena dance classes and will feature the dance creations of nationally acclaimed choreographer Lisa Clark-Schmeling.
Clark-Schmeling has been working with the dancers throughout the school year not only on their dance training but also in gaining deeper understanding about astrology. According to Clark-Schmeling, “The focus was not so much on placement of planets or birth charts, but more on human nature, personalities, and what makes a person tick.” Most importantly this performance is the result of a yearlong study on how these astrological archetypes translate to movement. Audiences will enjoy watching the dancers take on the physical embodiment of the elements (fire, earth, air, and water), modalities, and signs themselves. This zodiac themed production incorporates a multitude of dance styles including jazz, modern, contemporary, ballet, and hip-hop. It is set to a range of music from different eras that encapsulate the personality traits and characteristics of each sign.
Come and see the signs of the zodiac brought to life!
