Performs in Lecture Series Each year as a part of the Universi- ty Concert Lecture Series, the UNC- G Dance Company performs. This year the company ' s concert consisted of five dances encompassing styles from classic vallet to freeform modern dance, giving the evening a diverse range of entertainment. Opening the performance was a modern dance, ' ' Focus , choreographed by Dorothy Berea Silver, a former Graham dancer and current artist-in-residence at UNC- G. Focus explores the idea of children discovering a new toy. The dancers relied on an eight-foot cir- cular platform fixed atop a large in- flated innertube. Following Focus was the only classical ballet selection, Pas de Trois , from Swan Lake. The dancers displayed the technical demands of the dance with grace. Fermorphosis Myths , a dance pertaining to various myths about women, was accompanied by unique sounds of video games, incessant phones ringing, and the voices of the dancers in an up-and-down cacophony. The lighting designed by Dana Lowell greatly enhanced the performance. Dancers were able to show their in- dividual qualities of movement in the performance of War Babies. The profound statement of war and its impact created intensely emotional images for the audiences. The final performance of the even- ing was Video Jukebox. Based on a casual theme, dancers wandered on as stagehands and then moved through the audience greeting peo- ple. Video Jukebox developed through various episodes, each telling a story.
