comfortable asking questions about
the movements and the techniques.
Dance students will also have an
opportunity to talk with Johnston
Coursey in a workshop format. Using
workshops, the troupe will conduct
two sessions of “master classes.”
Initially, master classes were con
ducted by visiting dance teachers,
“masters” in their particular field.
Now the term is used to describe
visiting or touring dance troupes that
visit classes to demonstrate their tech
nique, style or philosophy.
“It’s a way of reaching out to the
community,” Topovski said, “to
expose the area dancers to new, dif
ferent dance philosophies.”
“We feel it is important to expose
our dancers to all viable art forms,”
Topovski said.
Topovski said it is important to
bring in modem dance troupes be
cause modem dance is one of the
most misunderstood forms of dance,
due to its name and its unpredictabil
ity.
“Modem dance is different from
ballet, which is very literal and fol
lows a storyline,” Johnston-Coursey
said. “Modem dance is more abstract,
it works on a theme, a feeling or an
idea.”
Topovski agreed. “People know
what ballet is and they know what to
expect, but modem dance is kind of
scary.”
To address this issue, Topovski
said the dance department hopes to
continue bringing both established
and fledgling companies to perform
and conduct workshops.
“Our movement style is very ath
letic,” Johnston-Coursey said, “and
there is a sensuality to it.”
Founder Johnston-Coursey earned
a master of fine arts degree in chore
ography/performance from the Uni
versity of Utah. She has toured exten
sively throughout the United Stales,
working continuously in Chicago with
the Dance Coalition. This year, Chi
cago recognized her achievements with
the Ruth Page Dancer of the Year
Award.

Dancer Mary Johnston-Coursey performs in “Forgotten
Sensations.’ Her dance troupe, The Kinetic White Girls, will
perform at the Johnny Carson Theatre this week.
Lynn Walter Topovski, Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln assistant
professor of dance, and Lisa Fusillo,
chairwoman of the dance department,
worked to bring these national per
formers to their students without major
expense.
One way to do this, Topovski said,
is to bring them “in-house” to give an
“informance.”
“It is a lecture/demonstration type
format where they speak and the people
can ask questions about their work at
that particular time,” Topovski said.
“Where people are informed during a
performance.”
Topovski said the Kinetic White
Girls will perform in an informal situ
ation so that students will feel more
