Newman Smith is excited to announce that Gallery in Motion Dance Company will collaborate with the Texas A&M Department of Dance this upcoming Spring on a project titled But Where There’s Hope, There’s Life. This project focuses on the Holocaust and communicating the impact and importance of this event in our history.
The work consists of nine choreographed sections that vary in group size, space, and timing. The performance includes:
- An abstraction of Hitler’s speech and his rise to popularity,
- A look at the everyday lives of people in hiding,
- Depictions of transportation to the concentration camps through the railroad system,
- Examples of daily life in concentration camps, and
- What led to liberation in 1945.
Gallery in Motion Dance Company and Texas A&M Department of Dance will be performing the full length-work at Newman Smith High School on February 24, 2023. There will be 3 sessions during the school day, and 6 sessions in the evening. Selected students will be invited to the day performances but evening performances are open to the staff and general public. The following areas will be blocked off in order for the performance to take place:
- Dance Studios
- Dance Workroom
- Library bleachers
- Fish Bowl
- Hallway benches next to IBA Hub
- Staircase by Languages
This is an incredible opportunity for the dance company as well as our community. I hope you will consider attending the performance. Tickets will be available the first week in February.
