\u00a0Theatre UCF presents Shove! Push!, <\/em>the sixth annual dance concert, on April 19-22 at the Orlando Repertory Theatre.<\/p>\n

The dance concert features 19 dances showcasing the work of the dance students in the UCF Theatre Department.<\/p>\n

Most years, faculty members choreograph some of the pieces, but this year, all of the choreographers are students or recent graduates of the dance program. The choreographers are selected through an application process, where they submit their ideas and needs to theatre faculty members. Considerations include dance style, number of dancers, how well the dance fits into the year\u2019s theme, and the choreographer\u2019s experience. This year all 19 choreographers that applied will be presenting in the concert.<\/p>\n

The dancers are all students, as well. Dancers must audition and may be cast in up to three pieces. Junior Musical Theatre major Damian Barra has performed in all three years he has been at UCF. His freshman year, he danced to his own choreography; last year and this, he is participating as a dancer for other choreographers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s challenging molding your movement to fit someone else\u2019s vision. With someone else\u2019s choreography you have to try to see inside their mind. It\u2019s good to see your own ideas come to life, but it\u2019s also rewarding to help someone else and have their vision come to fruition,\u201d says Barra.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to choreograph this year, but I didn\u2019t want to overload myself with courses, classwork and The Pajama Game <\/em>[Barra was the dance captain for the university\u2019s fall musical]. Next year, it will be my senior year and I definitely want to choreograph something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barra is excited to be dancing in Polarized, <\/em>by Amanda Castro. \u201cIt\u2019s not just leaps and turns, but about the movement. Amanda is telling a story through movement. This year, her piece is about magnetism\u2014the pushes and pulls between people and relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is so much variety, there is every year,\u00a0 but this year there are a lot of music selections and styles\u2014ballet, hip hop, contemporary; something for everyone to enjoy,\u201d said Barra.<\/p>\n

The student choreographers generally have years of experience with dance and choreography. Many have been dancing since they were small children.<\/p>\n

Recent graduate Cindy Heen is the choreographer of a piece entitled 3012.<\/em> The futuristic dance consists of ten dancers and is a jazz style. She worked with costume designer Dan Jones to fully bring her vision to life by having lights installed in the dancers\u2019 costumes.<\/p>\n

\u201cDance is something I eat, sleep, and breathe. Participating in UCF\u2019s past three dance concerts has helped me prepare for life after graduation by giving me the tools for the professional world as a dancer, dance instructor and choreographer,\u201d said Heen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the dance concerts I have been given the opportunity to work in a professional environment with highly talented individuals. Every year I have participated in the dance concerts, I have grown tremendously as choreographer and dancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and at 2 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n
