On Display August 30th through September 30th 2004

Inspiration for the title of the first 2004-2005 Voices & Choices Gallery show comes from the celebrated dancer-choreographer, Judith Jamison reflecting in her autobiography on the "work and beauty" of learning to play the piano - "I've always felt that complement of opposites: body and soul, solitude and companionship, and in the dance studio, contraction and release, rise and fall."  The September 2004 exhibit is a colorful art and literature collection from the multicultural world of late 20th century dance.  There are contemporary and vintage prints of professionals like Judith Jamison, Alvin Ailey, Gregory Hines, Bill T. Jones, Josephine Baker and prints of the amateurs who are often the source of popular creative dance expression.

The Voices & Choices Center provides a selected annotated list of resources available in the library to augment the current dance exhibit.

This exhibit supports the Kutztown University Performing Artists Series' Philadanco presentation on Thursday, September 23, 2004.
