Members of the The Mercer Dance Ensemble (MDE) will be tapping into their diverse backgrounds and talents in the original production “Experiences” at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC) Kelsey Theatre Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12.
“Every one of us choreographers comes from energetically different backgrounds,” said Jody Gazenbeek-Person, MCCC’s Theatre, Dance and Entertainment Technology coordinator. “This year’s concert is more eclectic and there’s something for everyone. On stage, the audience will experience pieces that mix ballet with Japanese Butoh, Hip-Hop numbers, modern dance, post-modern dance and dance theater pieces. The audience is in for quite the exciting ride.”
Presented by the MCCC Dance Program, the concert features current students, dance alumni and dance faculty. Eight pieces will be presented, each providing unique insight into the background and talents of the choreographers and dancers.
Performances will take place at the Kelsey Theatre on MCCC’s West Windsor Campus,1200 Old Trenton Road, at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 11 and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 12 at 2 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at kelseytheatre.org or by calling the box office at 609-570-3333, or in person prior to the performance. (The box office opens one hour before the show.) Kelsey Theatre is wheelchair accessible, with free parking available next to the theater.
