In dreams

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. For more information call 885-7212.
