7:30 p.m. Lecture Demonstration with Garth Fagan.
Sponsored by the Bowdoin College Museum of Art and the Department of Theater and Dance. Pickard Theater, Memorial Hall.
Acclaimed for his Tony Award-winning choreography of Broadway’s The Lion King, Garth Fagan remains one of the great reformers of American dance. He has honed his incomparable, revelatory technique –a blend of ballet, modern and Afro-Caribbean movements. The dancers in this Rochester, NY-based company are renowned for their individuality, unmannered approach, and virtuosity.
The lecture demonstration by Garth Fagan Dance is designed to introduce audiences to Fagan’s style of movement. This presentation includes a lecture combined with dance excerpts from Fagan’s works.
The presentation is sponsored by the Office of the Dean for Academic Affairs, in conjunction with an exhibition of the works of Romare Bearden at the Museum of Art, as part of the celebration of 40 Years of Africana Studies at the College.
