NWSA dance presents “Becoming” – an evening of works choreographed by the dance college seniors, who bring their innovative and unique voices to the stage. The program encompasses a diverse and exciting range of dance styles and perspectives, based on the fresh vision of these nine dancers, and showcases their choreographic skills, varied life experiences, and outstanding artistic training. The College BFA Dance Concert is the culmination of the students’ choreographic training at New World School of the Arts and an extension of the BFA Dance Production course taught by dance faculty Lara Murphy. Supported by the faculty, this program provides young choreographers with the opportunity to realize their vision in a fully produced, public presentation in which they oversee all aspects of the program including the theme, publicity, programming, and direction and development of their own works. In addition, the students assume the roles of professional choreographers, selecting dancers for their works, developing a creative process, seeking feedback on their choreography as they evolve, and working with the lighting designer and production manager to see their works fully realized.
