Spring Dance Concert
2024-03-22 19:30 - 22:00 (America/Chicago) | Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center, 1601 University Boulevard, Brookings, SD, 57007
Spring Dance Concert: Vantage Points allows students the opportunity to develop creative process, choreographic talents, leadership and communication skills, and artistic and technical abilities. Choreographers, through the development of original choreography, work with the dance ensemble director to develop work that communicates with intention and purpose. Choreographers are free to imagine how the theme ‘vantage points’ inspires dance composition and provides opportunity for creativity and intellectual discourse. Artists will explore how perspective alters observation, perception, understanding, and appreciation through a variety of contexts.

A hit comedy of merry misadventures and mistaken identities, Boeing Boeing tells the exploits of French bachelor Bernard and his lovely female flight attendants. Three flight attendants, to be exact, from three different countries: and they all believe they’re engaged to Bernard! In the past, Bernard has been able to juggle these women due to his detailed timetable of his fiancés’ flight schedules. When the situation changes and all of the women end up at his apartment on the same day, Bernard (with help from his bewildered friend Robert) struggles to keep them from learning the truth. Will the lying lothario be able to keep up this charade, or will a disaster occur? As they say: all’s well that ends well!
