Three exciting contemporary works, including premieres by Princess Grace Award recipient Bridget L. Moore and by Meadows Artist-in-Residence Brandi Coleman and a re-created work by New York-based choreographer Cherylyn Lavagnino, will be presented at SMU Meadows School of the Arts’ Fall Dance Concert. The concert, titled Celebrating Women’s Voices, represents the first time Meadows has presented an entire show of works by female choreographers.

The program opens with Lavagnino’s Seize en Jeu, a work for 16 dancers set to the fourth movement of Franz Schubert’s "Trio in E-flat Major." The program continues with the premiere of Simply, Eartha by Dallas-based choreographer Bridget L. Moore, a work celebrating the life and legacy of singer, actress, dancer, activist, Eartha Kitt. Concluding the program is Coleman’s upbeat new jazz work And One More Thing, highlighting strength, resilience and an unwillingness to compromise as portrayed by a group of hard-hitting, unapologetic women.
