The Moving Company to perform off campus this weekend
Dance goes everywhere. UNO's modern dance group will perform at the Joslyn Art Museum, the Omaha Public Library and the Henry Doorly Zoo during September.
"We're keeping a busy schedule, but it's an exciting time for the company," said Josie Metal-Corbin, director for The Moving Company. "Being out in the community and bringing dance to different places is a wonderful experience."
Mary Waugh-Taylor will choreograph a site-specific work for four dancers at the Henry Doorly Zoo on Friday, Sept. 7, in conjunction with the 2007 Zoofari, "Butterflies Are Not Free."
On Sunday, Sept. 9, the company will respond to "Spared from the Storm: Masterworks from the New Orleans Museum of Art," an exhibition at the Joslyn. The exhibit features works rescued during Hurricane Katrina.
The Moving Company's formal 30-minute concert in the Joslyn's Witherspoon Concert Hall starts at 2 p.m. The group's appearance is part of the museum's Family Fun Day, which is free and open to the public.
