11/24/2021

Enjoy a showcase of student creativity at the upcoming annual Afterimages dance concert at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. 

"Afterimages 2021" will be performed in Jenkins Theatre in the Noel Fine Arts Center, 1800 Portage St., Stevens Point, at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Dec. 3-4, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 5.

The show features student directors, choreographers, dancers and designers for sets, costumes, lighting and sound.

"Afterimages affords students the time and space to experiment with their artistry in a safe and collaborative environment, both as dancers and choreographers," said Arista Detter, one of the members of the student directing team.

Dance works include:

  • "Maestro," by Kenna Kramer, a junior dance and psychology major, brings classical music to visual life using different art forms.

  • "Her Voices," by sophomore dance and pre-physical therapy major Elizabeth Pischel, is a series of self-proclamations from difference voices of the same mind.

  • "Within My Tainted Eyes," by Bruno Salgado, a senior dance major, explores the ideas of sin, self-punishment and self-resolution.

  • "Silhouettes," by Taylor Kohlbeck, junior dance and psychology major, uses the image of a silhouette as a metaphor for complex feelings hidden below the surface of our bodies.

  • "Views from a Park Bench," by junior dance and musical theatre major Arista Detter, explores the different stages of love, with strangers united through its complexities.

  • "I Long for a Place…," by Jax Emmel, a senior dance major, looks at the idea of longing for the past or the future and forgetting to not appreciate the present moment.

  • "New Beginnings," by Alissa Krueger, senior dance and arts management major, inspires to celebrate who we are today despite being in a time of change and uncertainty.
