April 14-15 - Bloom - Dance Capstone by Connie Quagliata
Dance
Senior dance major Connie Quagliata presents her capstone project - choreographing 6 new pieces. Join us Friday April 14th and Saturday April 15th at 7:30 for the presentation of her work.

As dancers, we are so connected to our bodies and have a firm understanding of what it can and cannot do. What do we do when we no longer understand our body and cannot move it in the same way? Last year, I found out I was pregnant. My body changed drastically, and I had to take a step back from dance. My capstone explores the journey of undergoing change and how to juggle the concept of motherhood and dance. It is learning to adapt to a new environment, grow, and bloom. This show is dedicated to my daughter, my flower, Violet.

April 20-22 - Silent Sky by Lauren Gunderson
Theater
When Henrietta Leavitt begins work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, she isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the stars for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance her dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love. The true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. Social progress, like scientific progress, can be hard to see when one is trapped among earthly complications; Henrietta Leavitt and her female peers believe in both, and their dedication changed the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.

SILENT SKY is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)

The quality of the music was phenomenal, especially considering its complexity. To hear Aaron Copeland and Beethoven in the same concert is a rare delight!
