Performance merges dance, athletics
____-____ ■ - --— ' ■—
By Mark Baldridge
Senior Reporter
David Dorfman has made a habit
of working with amateurs.
He and his company, David
Dorfman Dance, have performed re
peatedly with amateur athletes.
In Burlington, Vt. and Hellena,
Mont., he’s taken his brand of dance
to the people.
Now he brings his show to Lincoln
and two nights of sold-out crowds at
the Carson Center.
“It’s my desire to put people on
stage and and marry the movements
of athletics with the movement of
dance,” he said. “To incorporate into
dance the immediate, urgent move
ments of athletics.”
In the Carson shows, Saturday at 8
p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., Dorfman
has integrated college-aged athletes
from the University of Nebraska-Lin
coln to athletes as young as 12-ycars
old.
The company held auditions in
mid-September and began rehersing
only three weeks ago with the 15 new
dancers.
Dorfman said, of his own begin
nings:
“I got interested in dance through
athletics. I kind of made a transforma
tion at the beginning of my dancing
when I studied ballet.
“But I’m getting back to my roots
in athletics.”
“Our brand of modem dance,” he
said, “is one of great vulnerability,
trying to show yourself, and not some
one else’s idea.”
Included in the show is 49-year
old professor Tom W inter of the Clas
sics department.
Winter, who is recognizable to
many students as the professor who
gets around campus on roller skates,
said he saw the advertisement for
athletes and decided, “better dance
might mean better skating.”
“If you watch figure skating, you
can see the relationship,” he said.
Winter performs several head
stands in the course of the show—the
last time as part of what he called a
“forest” of head stands.
He said the experience has been
illuminating.
“I’ve walked a mile in a dancer’s
moccasins — and it’s murder,” he
said.
“But,” he.said, “I haven’t had such
fun, this kind of fun, since child
hood.”
That seems to be part of Dorfman’s
agenda.
He said the dancers get a chance to
explore the possibilities of dance.
The audience gets something too,
the chance to see their friends, people
they know, on stage dancing.
“We’ve had very good attendance
at the shows we do of this nature,”
Dorfman said.
“It’s great box-office wise, but it’s
more important to me to get people to
see dance who don’t normally see it.”
Dorfman is from Chicago, though
he and his dancers are now based in
New York.
While Midwesterners “haven’t had
as much experience with dance,” he
said that was a positive thing.
“In a way that makes their reac
tions more honest and clear.”
The relative inexperience with
David Badders/DN
dance “can get in the way if you’re
looking for ‘literal’ understanding,”
he said
“But we’ve had extremely insight
ful reactions from people about the
work.”
Student playwrights works to be read Sunday
By Anne Steyer
Senior Reporter
Two dramatic works-in-progress
by UNL student playwrights wtfl be
read Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Temple
Building’s Studio Theatre.
These public readings, from stu
dents of the University of Nebraska
Lincoln’s playwriting workshop, will
be presented by the UNL Department
of Theatre Arts and Dance.
Julie Hagemeier, a UNL theater
arts graduate student, said her play
“Elizabeth” was a story of one worn
an’s courage and determination to
succeed.
“It’s loosely based on the story of
Elizabeth Blackwell, who was that
first woman doctor,” Hagemeiersaid.
“She had courage, determination
and kept moving forward to achieve
her goals.”
Hagcmeier said her play dealt with
Blackwell’s decision to become a
doctor, as well as the woman’s strug
gles in the 19th century.
The second reading will be “Moth
er,” a play by Jeanne Long, a UNL
-M
It’s loosely based on the story of Elizabeth
Blackwellt who was the first woman doctor.
— Hagemeier
student playwright
senior theater arts major.
Hagemeier said Long’s play
showed the relationship between a
mother and a daughter when they are
stranded together in a remote moun
tain hotel.
“They’re forced to take a different
¥ ¥
look at their lives,” she said.
Mother and daughter have been
estranged, she said, and this repre
sents their struggle to find a way back
to each other.
Admission to the readings is free.

‘War of the Worlds’ to be
broadcast Halloween night
From Staff Reports
Nebraska Public Radio, KUCV
FM 90.9, will broadcast a new pro
duction of Orson Welles’ horrify
ing classic “War of the Worlds”
Halloween night at 11.
Welles made radio history Oct.
30, 1938, when his entertainment
program was perceived by listen
ers to be an actual news broadcast.
“War of the Worlds” terrified
thousands of listeners and caused
them to run from their homes in
anticipation of a Martian attack on
Earth.
This new production stars Jason
Robards as Professor Pierson, the
main witness of the Grovers Mill,
NJ., “invasion.”
Other voices include Rene
Aubeijonois and Hector Elizondo.
“War of the Worlds” is present
ed by WGBH Radio Boston and
made possible by grants from
McGavren Guild Radio and the
National Endowment for the Arts.

generation, but college students are
also buying into die new style, Buckley
said.
That is one reason UPC is bringing
the “Black and Wy** concert to UNL.
“There are plenty of college kids
getting into country music,** he said.
“They like what they like.**
Buckley said country music was
opening up for a “whole new realm of
young artists.**
“It’s just something that fascinates
them,** he said.
While Nebraska may be a magnet
for country music, Buckley said other
cities were attracting country perform
ers as well.
"I don’t want to stereotype Ne
braska,** he said. “In Florida, Maine
and Seattle, it’s just as popular.**
Buckley said be was counting on
the “Black and Wy” concert tour’s
popularity to sell out the 6,800 seats at
the Devaney Center.
“We’re nearing 7,000 now," he
sakl.
The Midnight Oil concert on Sept.
13 resulted in a disappointing low
number of ticket sales, Buckley said.
UPC is banking on more revenue this
time.
The money from concert ticket sales
does more then support other UPC
events, he said. Higher revenues mean
better shows in the future and more
money generated in the community.
“When people support events, then
we’re successful and they’re success
ful,” he said.
The “Black and Wy" concert be
gins at 8 p.m. Tickets are reserved and
cost $22.50 and $ 18.50. Students with
IDs get $2 off the regular prices.
