Wow, what a day! There were so many great happenings on Transylvania University’s campus today at GSA.
Here are a few of them:
- Dance faculty Theresa Bautista and Rodney Brown began the morning with a presentation on the ways dance can be used in new media, specifically in film.
- The internationally acclaimed dance company, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, was on campus today for a dance masterclass and repertory class. They also stayed to give an incredible evening performance.
- SMORGS! The students experienced their first “Smorgasbord” today. Smorgs are a GSA tradition of trying out new art forms outside of the one you already know. Students were assigned to one of the many faculty-led “Smorgs” such as, I Heard the News Today: The Poems Hiding in Your Daily Paper, Ballet 101 and Claymation.
- Artist-in-Residence Harry Pickens gave a masterclass on good practice techniques to the instrumental music students.
- Coffeehouse! The first Coffeehouse was today after the evening performance. Another GSA tradition, Coffeehouses are casual evening performances where students can share their talents. Students shared everything from stand-up comedy to a tuba solo!
