On Friday April 12th, FTC company members boarded the Ride in our matching jackets, once again, to journey over to Skyline High School. The company was very fortunate to be able to perform in a black box theatre, located in the basement of the newly renovated high school. We performed two shows back to back and once again had a lot of space to work with. The audience seemed to enjoy the pieces and we had a few minutes at the end to have a Q and A session with the students and teachers. One english teacher questioned us about the connection between dance and narratives, which allowed the company members to explain how there is so much more to dance than the physical activity that it requires. It was truly great to expose these teenagers to the art of dance, as many people do not have the resources, time, or desire to experience the arts and especially dance. We were happy to get back to campus because there was a cake waiting in the dance building for Meri Bobber, who was celebrating her birthday this past weekend. All the company members went to the Mosher Jordan Dining Hall together to celebrate the three amazing shows that we have had and Meri's birthday!
