Excerpt:

“In the dance studios in the basement of the Center for the Arts, more than 50 student dancers vie for a spot in the 21-member company. The cast list announcing new company members is posted before Labor Day, and rehearsals begin for the first show of the season the following week. Founded in 1974, Zodiaque Dance Company (ZDC) has been UB’s premier pre-professional dance company, presenting innovative and creative performances for more than five decades. Now in its 52nd season under the co-direction of dance faculty members Kerry Ring and Michael Deeb Weaver, the company opens its fall concert Oct. 22, with performances running through Oct. 25 in the Drama Theatre of UB’s Center for the Arts.

“For dancers, the mix of faculty and guest choreographers offers the best of both worlds: the depth of long-term mentorship and the reach of connections beyond the university. Co-Director Kerry Ring describes the benefits of working with both kinds of choreographers: ‘Working with the dance faculty gives students the advantage of long-term familiarity with each dancer, consistent technical training, an extended creative process, and deep collaboration with the design and technology faculty. Guest artists provide a fresh perspective, new movement languages, fast, intensive rehearsals that mimic the professional scene, and current connections with a wider industry.’”

“’Wolf Play’ is a beautiful work by Hansol Jung. It is a memory play that tells the story of an adopted Korean boy, Jeenu, who is grappling with being shuffled from one adoptive home to a new one, contending with adults that try their best, but make mistakes. Jeenu struggles to make sense of his shifting world through a puppet and fascination with wolves. The play invites us to think about who our family is, who is in our pack, who do we choose? It is messy and funny and heartbreaking and lovely.” – Troy Coleman, UB PhD Candidate & Dramaturg
