~a celebration of student creativity~
A performance dedicated to original student compositions and student choreography
Three of the city’s finest after school arts programs create a forum for student expression that makes for a totally creative performance. 2010 marks the third year of this unique collaboration that brings the students from the Colorado Springs Conservatory, the Ballet Society of Colorado Springs and the Ormao Dance Company together. Students from the Conservatory compose short musical selections that are then choreographed and performed by students from both dance schools. The musical genre ranges from rock and roll, minimalist string quartets to digital fusion. The choreography is a blend of classical ballet to dynamic contemporary dance. Students participating range in age from 13 to 18 years old.
