FSU’s Department of Theatre and Dance Presents Virtual Spring Dance Concert, “In Hindsight”

FSU’s Department of Theatre and Dance will present its livestreamed Spring Dance Concert, titled “In Hindsight,” on Thursday, April 29, at 7:30 pm. Under the direction of Natalie Bennett, the concert reflects on the past year through eight original dance pieces choreographed by Bennett and Dance Company members.

Bennett’s “Sun Will Set,” “What About Us” and “Dancing Again” investigate the power of positivity and moving forward in life, even after dark times. In “Healing” and “No Fear, No Doubt,” sophomore dance minor Victoria Talbert focuses on the transitional nature of time in the healing process, as well as the fearlessness of confident and powerful women. In “Almost,” graduating senior and dance minor Emily Hash considers how “in hindsight, we should have gotten lost to let the good times roll.” Senior Taylor Robinson explores boundless grace in “Breath of Heaven,” while first-year dance minor Amber Stanfill focuses on finding balance through the “Confusion” of the past year.

With supervision by George Georgeson, the concert features lighting designs by students in the department, including Frank Bowles, Sydney Sackett, Alexus Niblack, Ebony Gennes, Brendon McCabe, Andrew Geier and Georgeson himself. The creative team consists of Bennett (director), Bowles (production manager), Georgeson (lighting supervisor), Michele Labar (costume coordinator), Gordon Duguid (technical director) and Sam DeMartino (videographer/streaming).

The dances of “In Hindsight” are brought to you by Dance Company members Hash, Talbert, Robinson, Jamie Williams, Erin Mellarkey and Stanfill.
