Brooklyn, N.Y. – Long Island University's
Brooklyn Campus will be the site of a dance extravaganza offering
a richly varied program of works from traditional modern to post-modern
styles.
Presented by the Campus's Dance Department, the sixth annual
concert features the works of faculty and their professional colleagues
on Thursday, November 21, and Friday, November 22 at 7:30 p.m.

Clare Byrne will perform two solos, sure and somewhere,
set to the music of Aretha Franklin, "exploring ecstatic
spirituality through movement." Her work has been shown at

Brooklyn Arts Exchange, Dancespace Project's Food For Thought
series, P.S. 122's Avantgardarama, The Flea Theater
and Dixon Place.
Debra Jo Hughes will perform her own work, a contemporary piece
that incorporates ballet, modern and jazz dance techniques and
influences. Enjoying a varied career as a ballet dancer and commercial
jazz dancer working in theater, film and television, she has performed
with the Capital City Ballet and Ballet Theatre International.
Colleen Thomas will present AWAKESWELL, a personal reflection
on the experience and stages of loss, and hold your breath/I'll
be right there, a voyeuristic journey of two women and their
baggage. She has danced with the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance
Company, Bebe Miller Company, Nina Weiner Dance Company, Donald
Byrd/The Group, the Kevin Wynn Collection, Sung Su Ahn and Miami
Ballet, among others. She currently performs with Bill Young
