Sept. 17 — Ottowa University, Ottowa, KS
Joy by Milton Myers
Joy by New York choreographer Milton Myers explodes on the stage with energy and exuberance as eleven dancers move through space at lightning-fast speed, showcasing their technical prowess. Tempered in the middle with a slow and tender romantic trio, the dance is a virtual roller coaster ride of beautiful dance, athleticism and unabashed joy to the music of Bach.
Letters Never Sent by Erika Randall
music by Marin Marais
Letters Never Sent by Erika Randall and danced to the "Sonnerie de St. Genevieve du Mont-de-Paris" by Marin Marais, is about the love letters and hate mail we write and do not send. The stage, littered with hundreds of letters that will never reach their intended, becomes yet another page for the dancers' physical inscriptions. As they articulate their emotions through intimate gestures and sweeping extensions, the five women express, through dance, volumes that may have otherwise been suppressed.
To Have and to Hold by Shapiro and Smith
music by Scott Killian
An exciting work with a commisioned score by Sctoll Killian that intermingles wood and bodies in a personal view of relationships and loss. On, around and under three long wooden benches, six dancers slide, fall and support each other as the wor reminds us of those we have loved and lost but not forgotten.
Passage by DeeAnna Hiett
Life is full of journeys. Set to the music of Vas, "The Passage" represents the odysseys each one of us face during our lives. Its movement symbolizes both the inner struggles we go through and the mandatory pilgrimages we endure as time marches on.

City by Jennifer Muller
music by David Van Tieghem
City. by Jennifer Muller, set to the dynamic score by David van Tiegham is a technical "tour de force" evoking the pace of the urban environment. From the lithe and slithery movement to tense and weary movement the next, the stage filled with ten dancers in motion takes a familiar look at empty, sometimes threatening turmoil of city streets. Bustling with inventive patterns, accidental jostling turns into a mugging where danger lurks and people can't be trusted. "City" us a showcase for the extraordinary energy and virtuosity of the company.
