We all do at some point in our lives, whether we’re at a concert or listen- ing to loud music in our homes. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we all know how to dance; perhaps students from the dance department here on campus could teach us some moves. This week the UM dance department will per- form its annual Fall Dance Showcase, featuring the work of 16 choreographers and performances by 30 dancers. The showcase will include a large amount of modern dance as well as jazz, ballet and even dance theater, said Michele Antonioli, an associ- ate professor in the dance department. This year also includes a piece by Kim Epifano, a guest choreographer from San Francisco. Epifano, a visiting professor, has taught all levels of modern dance classes as well as com- position and contact improvisation classes while at UM, said Nicole Bradley-Browning, assistant professor in the dance department. Epifano’s piece, titled “Return to Ashes,” deals with the issue of contemporary America post-Sept. 11. Bradley-Browing said it’s commentary on how the United States prides itself on being accepting of diverse cultures, yet after Sept. 11, there was the fear of being the “other,” the shunned or non- accepted culture. Epifano designed the sound score used in the piece, which is like a collage, Antonioli said.
