The University of Hartford’s Hartt School Dance Division proudly presents the Fall 2024 Senior Dance Concert, “All of Us."
Performances will be on Oct. 18 and Oct. 19 in the Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation Theater at the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center (35 Westbourne Parkway, Hartford, Conn.).
“All of Us”, is a powerful evening premiering choreographic work and three solo commissions of Hartt Dance seniors Caterina Baker, MK Flaherty, and Sabrina Kreiss. Caterina provides an entertaining portrayal of a jazz club scene while her dancers are decorated in top hats and heels. MK Flaherty delves into organic material with her dancers that deals with the human condition. Blending the expressive power of contemporary ballet with evocative theatrics, Sabrina Kreiss investigates the shared human struggle of silencing our inner demons and transforming their toxic whispers into forces that empower us. Professional choreographers Gabrielle Lamb, Isaac Martin Lerner, and Michael Waldrop have created original solos for each dancer that display their individual strengths and talents. The three vastly unique group works, combined with three carefully crafted solos, create a memorable program of exquisite composition and dancing.
