According to Artistic Director Melinda Blomquist, "The student dancers have been rehearsing since September to prepare for this performance. Each work presents them with specific challenges in regard to movement vocabulary, emotional connection to the movement, their fellow dancers, and the audience. These dancers have grown as artists in many ways through the rehearsal process as they have worked with a diverse and talented group of choreographers. Many of the works in this performance utilize ideas and concepts from Modern dance, which comes from a tradition of pushing boundaries and exploring different ways of expressing an idea."
