Student choreographers and dancers will present an eclectic mix
of dance styles in "Spattered Bounds," the student dance
concert, opening tonight in Godwin Hall.
The 14-piece concert is appropriately titled "Splattered Bounds"
because the pieces share no common theme, according to senior Lauren
Gibbs, the concert's student coordinator and a dancer.
Rather, it is an assortment of various styles of dance including
modern, jazz, hip-hop and step. The concert includes two solos,
one duet and several group pieces ranging from three to 10 dancers.

"I think the unique thing about this concert is that it has
a lot of variety," said junior Cara Goodwin, the concert's
student director. "The pieces have new concepts and ideas,
and they are of several different genres. I think people would appreciate
this show because it pushes the limits of dance. That is (how) we
got the name 'Splattered Bounds.'"
"Splattered Bounds" is an entirely student-produced concert.
The student concert is an opportunity for "JMU (dance) students
to express what they've been working on for the semester and even
before then," Gibbs said. "They've worked real hard to
make this look good."
"Splattered Bounds" runs Thursday, Nov. 15 through Saturday,
Nov. 17 at 8 p.m. in Godwin Hall studio room 335. Tickets cost $3
with JAC and $6 without and may be purchased at the door.
