The UNLV Performing Arts Center welcomes the Utah Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) in "Elements" - a dance program that defines earth, air, fire, and water - at 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 8. The performance also features UNLV department of dance students.
"A real goal is to provide our students with significant professional experience and the ability to function as an artist in the world of dance," said Louis Kavouras, chair of the UNLV department of dance. "We are so delighted that UNLV dance majors have been given the opportunity to be in residence with this respected professional and historic company. It's an opportunity that potentially could change lives."
Founded in Salt Lake City nearly 50 years ago, RDT is committed to the creation, performance, perpetuation, and appreciation of modern dance. This versatile and flexible national touring company has been seen in more than 300 cities throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. RDT has performed for diverse audiences from Bicknell, Utah to Vienna, Austria, in school rooms and opera houses, from gymnasiums to the Kennedy Center. As ambassadors for Utah, RDT proudly represents its community and its art form throughout the world.
