w00ting for our WUT committee members!
Last weekend, in addition to the Shoghaken and Follies craziness that ensued on the Union Theater stage, I had the great opportunity to see not one, but TWO of our lovely and talented Union Theater Committee members perform! The perk about having a committee that loves a stage, is that more often than not, our members are also involved in artistic pursuits!
On Thursday night, I attended the Spring Student Concert, put on by the UW Dance Department in Lathrop Hall. Former Union Theater Committee Director, and current Associate Director for Dance, Laura Katzman both choreographed and performed in her piece. And quite frankly, it knocked my socks off. I wish I knew the kind of words one could use to describe dance, so that other people who weren’t there would understand the profound effect her choreography left on the audience. I am totally amazed by people who can think in terms of genius choreography..and who can tell a story through the movement.
Then on Friday, another committee member, Kristine Rominski, performed in the UW Student Concerto and Composition Competition Concert. Kristines’s concerto, “Poem for Flute and Orchestra” by Charles T. Griffes, was AWESOME. Again… my music lingo totally fails me here… but by the way she performed it was so totally clear how much time, effort and love has gone into her playing flute. (And! she looked totally dazzling in her snazzy purple dress!)
It should also be noted that this weekend’s performance of Don Pasquale by the UW Opera features one theater committee member in the cast.. and another two in the pit! Talk about a talented group!
