Current Dance Season

2012–2013 Alma College Dance Company Season


Alma College Dance Company—Fall Concert

Celebrate this very special Alma College Dance Company concert as we invite Maxine Steinman from New York City to do an extended 10-day residency working with our Alma College Dancers. Ms. Steinman will choreograph in the style of modern dance luminary Jose Limon for the first act. Her choreography is beautifully crafted and rich with emotion and earthy sequences that will be exquisite to watch. For the second act we are thrilled to welcome our new Ballet Professor, Jenifer Sarver, as she stages excerpts from the holiday classic “The Nutcracker Suite” to the beautiful music of Tchaikovsky.

Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.

 

Student Profile

Olyvia Brown
Graduation: 2014
Major: Theatre and English

With hours of reading and rehearsal, English and theatre can be two time-consuming majors.

Fitting both into one schedule is nearly impossible, but for Olyvia Brown ’14, it’s a labor of love.

“English feeds my love of theatre,“ she says.
