Spring Senior Dance Concert, "Beyond Sight"

“Beyond Sight” is an evening-length performance showcasing a culmination of newly created dance works through the lens of three Hartt Dance Division Seniors. After four years of cultivating their artistic voice, Meredith Bolton, Marigel Fernandez, and Kyleigh Olivier will each premier original choreographies portraying themes of Alzheimer’s Disease, family dynamics, and balancing control.

The spring performance also consists of a collaboration with The Hartt School’s Composition Department. This allows the seniors to have original scores accentuate their choreography while making connections for future projects. For “Beyond Sight,” the dance works of Kyleigh Olivier and Meredith Bolton will feature the musical compositions of June Aino and Josh Baerwald.

In addition to their group works, three esteemed professionals, Brandon Collwes, Francisco Graciano, and Mike Esperanza, were commissioned to craft original solo works highlighting each dancer’s individual growth throughout their educational journeys at The Hartt School. These solos will also debut in this spring’s performance.
