ImageFall Dance Theatre Concert "Šdance is a point of viewŠ" will be performed at the Cornell Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts December 3-5 at 8:00 pm in the Class '56 Dance Theatre.  This unique exploration of dance will feature original choreography by Cornell students.      

Director Jumay Chu, Senior Dance Lecturer, says " '...dance is a point of view...,' the subtitle of this year's Fall Dance Theatre Concert,  are the  words used famously by John Martin, New York Times' first dance critic, to describe modern dance in the early 1930s. 

Today they continue to reflect the many different ways of seeing dance.  What is dance? Is abstract dance meaningless? Is jazz dance merely entertainment?  Is dramatic dance theater? Is hip hop political or fun? Is one kind more valuable than another? The Fall Dance Theatre Concert offers many ways of dancing. Come and find your own point of view."

The piece is primarily an extension of what is worked on and created in Cornell dance composition classes.  Student choreographers include Ivette Villalba, Emma Carlsson, Danielle Diniz, Sam Keller, Claire Babilonia, Virginia Cromwell, Evelyn Chan, Debbie Schneider, Dayna Schwartz, and Alexandra Harlig.
