FALL DANCE THEATRE
OPENS NOVEMBER 7 AT CSUF
Professional and student choreographers present a wide array of dance pieces in Fall Dance
Theatre, November 7 - 17, 2013, at California State University, Fullerton. Coordinated by Gladys Kares,
the eight choreographed pieces that make up Fall Dance Theatre will be presented in the Little Theatre
in the Clayes Performing Arts Center on campus.
In “East, West, South, then North,” guest artist Jonathan Fredrickson (Limon Dance Company of
NYC, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago) takes inspiration for his choreography from the four cardinal
winds. Faculty member Alvin Rangel choreographs his piece, “…Those Left Behind…” to Beethoven’s
music and dedicates the piece in memory of Antonio Rangel. Dance student Brennan Renteria
choreographs “In Sleep, We Dream” to the music of The Hours by influential American composer Philip
Glass.
Craig Davis choreographs Kendall Russo’s piece entitled “Where The Pavement Ends,” to
music. Davis is a Piano and Composition major at CSUF. Russo says her piece is about “the acceptance
of change and individuality.” Faculty member Macarena Gandarillas choreographs a contemporary
lyrical piece with 8 dancers and 3 singers, entitled “I’m Still With You.” The piece features all original
music by CSUF Musical Theatre student Michael Dashefsky. The modern and jazz piece “Stripped,” by
Natalie Baldwin, explores the notion of a “loss of innocence” and features music by Duke Ellington and
Miles Davis.
“Lalique Deux Danseuses” performed to the music of Chopin, features two dancers who portray
crystal figurines that have come to life. CSUF faculty member Robin E. Johnson choreographs the piece.
“Unfolding,” choreographed by Kristi Licera, features five dancers and modern dance styles.
Scenic Coordination is by Ann Sheffield, Lighting Coordination is by Debra Garcia Lockwood,
