I hope many of you will welcome Dr. Seyfarth and join us for his presentation. The film begins with Elisabeth rushing up the steps of the city courthouse in Munich where she meets her husband for their divorce hearing. During the hearing we learn that Elisabeth deserted her husband and that the custody of their five-year old son is still pending, although the husband has him for the time being. The film follows Elisabeth on her efforts to find a job and achieve the stability that will allow her to regain custody of her son. The concert will feature transcriptions of Renaissance and Classical music, jazz, works by French masters Eugene Bozza and Alfred Desenclos, and ragtime.
Admission is free, and seating is unreserved.
Weis Center for the Performing Arts Join the Bucknell Dance Company for a lively evening of new work by internationally renown choreographers, faculty and students in works ranging from classical ballet to contemporary jazz and tap. Featured in the concert will be a new work by Chinese choreographer Wen-jinn Luo whose intensely physical partnering will serve as counterbalance to the whimsical swing style of professional jazz choreographer Cathy Young and a new contemporary ballet by visiting professor and Brazilian native Simone Ferro. With costume designs by Paula Davis-Larson, scenic design by F. Elaine Williams and lighting by Steve Draheim, the evening promises to be elegant and exciting. Funding for the concert is provided by the Department of Theatre and Dance, Bucknell Student Government and a generous grant from the Bucknell Association for the Arts. The concert is suitable for all age groups.
