Brazos Dance Collective

Don’t miss this year’s Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival on Sept. 19 and 20! Dance companies and choreographers from across Texas are coming to campus to celebrate contemporary dance.

Hosted by the Dance Science program in the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts, this festival was founded in 2007 by Carisa Armstrong, associate professor, and Christine Bergeron, academic undergraduate program director.

Tickets are $13.50 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors, available at the MSC Box Office: tx.ag/BCDFTickets

Skye Todaro will present “Table for One (No More)” at the Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival on Friday, Sept. 19, and Saturday, Sept. 20.

The theatrical contemporary solo traces the journey from lonely dinners and daydreams to the sweet and slightly dramatic arrival of love. The piece blends humor, expressive gesture and full-bodied movement to explore the awkward, beautiful and absurd emotions of waiting — and finally not having to wait alone.

Todaro, a Bryan native, holds a B.F.A. in Dance Performance and a B.A. in Psychology from Southern Methodist University. She has performed works by choreographers including Robert Battle, Take Ueyama, Caleb Teicher, Joy Bollinger, Pat Taylor, Joshua L. Peugh and Terrill Mitchell. Now based in New York City, Todaro is a member of Yaroque Dance Theatre. She is expanding her work as a freelance artist by continuing to perform while debuting her own choreography.

The Brazos Contemporary Dance Festival is an annual concert that brings together companies and choreographers from across the state and beyond. This year’s festival will have three performances on Sept. 19 and 20. Tickets are $13.50 for general admission and $8 for students and seniors, available at the MSC Box Office: tx.ag/BCDFTickets

“Journey to Hope,” a story of immigration through modern dance, will be performed by Dance Science students on Saturday, May 4, with free showings at 6 and 8 p.m.

Choreographed by Carisa Armstrong, program director and associate professor, and Christine Bergeron, associate dean for academic affairs and clinical professor for the program, “Journey to Hope” will share the perspective of immigrants on their way to their future home. To showcase the constant motion, the audience will see sections of the work in multiple locations: across the courtyard and inside classrooms and the Black Box Theater in the Liberal Arts and Arts and Humanities Building.

At the courtyard, the dancers will perform in a pool that represents a large body of water that immigrants would have crossed during their travels. The pool was built by Jam Martinez, the school’s production manager, and Jeff Watson, the school’s theatre facility coordinator. It is 16 feet by 30 feet and will hold about 4 inches of water.
