Renee Banson presents a movement essay on commercialism and media images in "Greed, Image and Bling Bling,"which includes a performance by Director of Dance Linda Caruso Haviland.

New faculty member Naomi Pressman performs a character study, "Natasha," to an original sound collage.

Acclaimed choreographer Myra Bazell presents a new male duet, "Tide."

Rebecca Malcolm-Naib premieres "Masquerade," a solo about power and facades set to the music of Queen.
