(World Premiere) by Katie Stevinson-Nollet Streaming ( Saturdays ) <Announcement> Hartt Dance, named “Best College Dance Program” by DanceUS for the past six years in a row, brings to the stage its fall program of classical and contemporary works. The selected repertoire features the award-winning dancers of The Hartt School Dance Division in four works representing both classical and contemporary choreography in Ballet and Modern dance.
Martha Graham’s “Diversion of Angels”, to an original score by Norman Dello Joio, premiered in 1948 in New London, CT. It is a classic of the modern dance idiom depicting 3 aspects of love and is currently in the repertory of the Martha Graham Dance Company and ballet companies around the world. It is being restaged by Kim Stroud, a former Graham Company member and currently on faculty at Hartt.
The renowned 19th century Ballet choreographer, Marius Petipa, is represented in excerpts from Le Corsaire and La Bayadere. These are being staged by faculty member Hilda Morales who danced these works with American Ballet Theater and Pennsylvania Ballet.
Debra Ryder, a former principal dancer with The Hartford Ballet is recreating her work “Passeri” which is a contemporary ballet “en pointe” taking inspiration from the avian form, Passerine.
And lastly, Katie Stevinson-Nollet, former dancer and founding director of Full Force Dance Theater is busy creating a new work in the contemporary dance idiom featuring 18 dancers from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year student body.
Hartt School Dance Director, Stephen Pier, shares, “In our current culture, as words become a less trustworthy and more divisive mode of communication, we can find joy, truth, and deep connection in humanity’s most elemental and honest form of communication, Dance!”

I am about to leave for Abu Dhabi! Mellowing is by Greek Choreographer Christos Papadopoulos. We have been traveling with this work a quite a bit. All artists in Dance On Ensemble are amazing professionals. I am so lucky to be working with them. STEIN is the work Lucinda Childs choreographed and we are on stage together! Story is a work Merce Cunningham choreographed in 1963, and this is one of the first "chance operated work"!!! A lot of chances(of course), improvisations, in the moment kind of work. every time is different. If you can catch these works, I will see you!!!
