[DANCE] The University at Buffalo Theatre & Dance Department will showcase the Zodiaque Dance Ensemble Friday, April 17 through Sunday 19. The dance performance, directed by Kerry Ring and Anne Burnidge, will feature works from two guest artists, faculty choreography, and mentored student works. New York City-based dancers Kendra Portier and Daniel Gwirtzman will present their guest choreography paired with works from UB dance faculty members Burnidge and Jeanne Fornarola. Dance pieces from four advanced choreography students (Becca Corbin, Lexi Julian, Fallon Martin, and Sammi Pfieffer) will also be shown. The company, comprising 28 undergraduate dance majors, will bring to the stage current dance styles in the forms of jazz, tap and post-modern contact improvisation. Subjects to be emphasized in the pieces include the politics surrounding the world’s decreased water resources, “selfies,” relationships, and the afterlife. Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30pm and the Sunday performance is at 2pm. The show will be held in the CFA Black Box Theatre in the Center for the Arts, North Campus.
