FADE is an annual dance concert comprised of original works in the modern dance genre showcasing a wide variety of dance styles and themes, with each piece created by a different choreographer. “There are eight dances, so you are going to like at least one of them,” says Associate Professor of Dance Studies, Susan Lutz, faculty coordinator for the ensemble. The pieces are “very eclectic, but accessible,” she states. Lutz is one of two faculty choreographers, alongside Professor of Dance Studies Marianne Adams. This year’s FADE offers a well-rounded program of dance and features a new work by guest artist Maree ReMalia. Born in South Korea and raised in the American Midwest, ReMalia is a freelance choreographer, performer, teaching artist, and certified Gaga instructor. During her residency on university campus, she is creating a piece on dance students that includes exploration of movement, sound, text, and object manipulation. Senior Dance Studies majors Rachel Bohannon from Wake Forest and Daisy Hodge from Chapel Hill, along with senior Criminal Justice major Darby Adams from Charlotte are student choreographers for FADE, and are joined by Dance Studies majors junior Bri Graves from Charlotte, and sophomore Triana Trower from Rural Hall.
