NMH Dance Company presents “SHIFT” performance
NORTHFIELD, Mass.— Beginning next fall, the Northfield Mount
Hermon Dance Company will be in unfamiliar surroundings. Because
of the closing of the Northfield campus at the end of this
school year, they will no longer be performing in the
Silverthorne Theatre. To honor this change, the company has
entitled its final of the school year performance “SHIFT.”
A fine array of styles and original choreography will be shown. Director Gretel Schatz has choreographed a dance for the senior
company inspired by cubist painter Fernand Leger, a Quintet en
pinte to selected songs of George Gershwin as sung by Sarah
Vaughn, and a comic polka piece for the repertory group
Snapdragon set to favorites by Frank Yankovic. The junior
company will join in to perform jazz to music by Stevie Wonder
and another modern piece.
Special nods go to Kelly Griffin ’05 of Turner’s Falls and
Susanna Ordway ’05 of Montpelier, VT who will be presenting
their senior solos, and to Sarah Shinkle ’05 (from Orange),
Marie Rende ’05 (from Florence), Amanda Clarke ’06, Olivia
Krueger ’06, and Caitlin Nordehn ’05 who will present original
group dances they have created.
SHIFT performances will take place in the Silverthorne Theatre
on the Northfield campus on May 12 and 13 at 7:30 pm, and May 14
at 7 pm. Tickets range from $2 to $5. For more information,
please call (413) 498-3017.
