Curtain time! Advanced dance and music students collapse exhausted after weeks of creativity and rehearsal in preparation for a collaborative concert opening at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 1 in Meany Studio Theater, while undergraduates put their work into motion. This is the first time masters of fine arts dance candidates and student composers worked together on a performance. The concert will also be at 8 p.m. Dec. 3 and 4 and 2 p.m. Dec. 5. Tickets are available at the Arts Ticket Office, 4001 University Way N.E., or by calling the box office, 543-4880. On the couch are MFA dance students Shannon Hobbs, Yoav Kaddar, Victoria Anderson, Pamela Cohen, Carol Dilley, Rebecca Gose. Music students are Ben Mac Alester, Chris Shaeinen, Melody Linhart, Patric Clark and Don Craig. The collaboration was made possible by Tools for Transformation funding.
