Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts to present its annual Young Choreographers in Concert, April 12 & 13, 2019.
BETHLEHEM, PA (April 12-13,2019)—29 senior students will be showcasing their choreography skills in the Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts’ annual Young Choreographers in Concert event on April 12 & 13, 2019.
Young Choreographers in Concert (YCC) is the culminating event, or final exam, for the Senior Dance Composition course. Each senior student creates original choreography that is cohesively based on a theme of their choosing. They then cast dancers from the freshman, sophomore and junior classes. This year’s show features more than twenty senior choreographers and close to 100 dancers. This year’s themes are wide-ranging, such as the current political environment, spiritual awakenings, the 1950’s revolutionary marketing and product development period, and the mental toll of a disease, just to name a few.
Concert director, Amy Berry says, “YCC is an invaluable opportunity for students to find their creative selves and to see an artistic process through from conception to the stage. A physical and visual expression of the students’ inner feeling and interests that is always an exciting and entertaining surprise to watch!”
There will be evening performances on both dates at 7 PM, with a matinee performance on the 13th at 2 PM. Tickets are $8-$13 and can be purchased online at www.CharterArts.org.
