UVSC ballet company sets 'Sounds in Motion'

OREM — Members of the Utah Regional Ballet Company, housed at Utah Valley State College within the school of humanities, arts and social sciences, are set to perform "Sounds in Motion."

The program is funded in part by the city of Orem CARE Program. The contemporary program features the piece, "Rhythm and One," choreographed by Heather Gray. The piece was performed last March in Pittsburgh at the gala performance of the National Regional Dance America Festival. Also featured are ballets choreographed by New York-based artists Alan Hineline, "Resolute," and Kathryn Posin, "Bridge of Song."

"Six in 4 Movements" is choreographed by artistic director Jacqueline Colledge.

Featured artists include Rachelle Jardine, from Alpine; Joni Tuttle, from Holden; Lauran Hyde, from Orem; and Janika Evans, from American Fork. All are UVSC dance majors pursuing a degree in ballet performance.

Also featured are Lindsay Duerfeldt, Christopher Young, Katherine Rane, Utah Regional Ballet principals and Shayla Bott of the UVSC faculty. Guest artists include Jason Linsley and Michael Bearden from Ballet West.

"This is a great event for students and the community to attend," said Colledge.
