Youth's lack of security theme of dance concert
The younger generation's lack of security and communication and their search for it is the theme of "Dance '68," Tau Sigma's annual dance concert to be presented at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in the University Theatre.
The 11 main dances, which were choreographed by the members of Tau Sigma, honorary dance fraternity, are linked by short transition dances and narration. The dance routines range in style from ballet to contemporary and modern jazz.
"Ballet is used because in times of stress, society often goes back to formality and set patterns." Elizabeth Sherbon, Tau Sigma's faculty advisor, said. "The last ballet changes and becomes very modern."
The students designed their own costumes and sets and selected their dance music. The music varies from the classical music of Grieg and Tchaikovsky to the popular folk music of Simon and Garfunkle and Glenn Yarbrough.
