The Adelphi University Department of Dance returns with its biannual showcase of its students’ talent.
Spring Dance Adelphi will take place from April 19 to 23 in the Olmsted Theatre at the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center.
The performance will highlight a mixed program of dance including classical ballet, as well as modern and contemporary dance.
Featured works include pieces from guest choreographers Earl Mosley and Manuel Vignoulle, as well as choreography by faculty members Frank Augustyn, Orion Duckstein and Adelheid Strelick.
Mosley is both founder and director of Diversity of Dance, a 501(c)(3) non-profit full of passion and spirit in its commitment to appreciating the differences that truly make each artist unique and respected.
Diversity of Dance (emiadance.org) welcomes diversity not only in art, but the life experiences that each dancer brings to the process of creating dance that entertains, educates and heals the human spirit.
Vignoulle, a French choreographer based in New York, studied at The Conservatoire National Supérieur de Danse de Paris and went on to work with different French contemporary companies including Claude Brumachon, Corinne Lanselle, and Bernardo Montet.
He was a dance artist with both Ballet de Grand Théâtre de Genève (Switzerland) and Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet (New York).
Vignoulle appeared as a guest for La La La Human Steps (Canada), Het Nationale Ballet (Netherland), State Theatre (South Africa), and The Forsythe Company (Germany).
He has also been an assistant to modern-jazz choreographer, Redha, working on concert dance, television, film, fashion, musical theater and opera performances.
Vignoulle’s work has been performed around the world.
