The annual
University of Idaho spring production of Dancers, Drummers and
Dreamers will be presented March 30 and 31. Once again, the students
from the Dance Department and the Music Department have come
together to work through late nights of rehearsal for their unique
performance.
All the dance choreography and music in the show are written
by students and faculty. On Friday and Saturday night, both elements
will be displayed on stage - the dancers will weave around the
musicians.
The music ranges from the pure rhythm of drums to the twangy
style of the Far East.
"Here's the thing," said Michelle Roberts, who first
intended to dance in DDD, but later decided she could better
use rehearsal time to study. "Musicians compose their stuff,
and dancers choreograph their dance, and then you put them together.
So, you could have hip-hop to piano music. But it's mostly modern
dance."
All performances will be in the Hartung Theatre. The evening
shows will start at 7:30 p.m. and the recently-added Saturday
matinee will begin at 2 p.m.
Tickets for the Friday and Saturday night shows are sold out,
but tickets for the Saturday matinee can be purchased at the
North Campus Center and G&B select-a-seat outlets. They are
$5 for students, $6 for seniors and $7 for general admission.
