Bruce Wong, Jo Sau Yin Leung (M.F.A '10), Kaco Kam (M.F.A. '06) and Chloe Wong (M.F.A. '07) have all four received this amazing Jockey Club award to study at Hollins in our MFA program.
She was also awarded 1st Place for Choreography and 3rd Place for Dance for the performance of her solo "The gentleness was in her hands" at the 13th Internationales Solo -Tanz-Theatre.
Emily Wexler received the American College Dance Festival Association/Dance Magazine Award for Outstanding Student Choreographer at the National College Dance Festival, held June 4 – 6 in New York City.
Wexler was honored for her original production, Navy Blue, which was chosen for the festival from more than 150 works presented at the Southeastern American College Dance Regional Conference in Gainesville, Florida, in March.
“Navy Blue was selected because of its uniqueness,” says Professor of Dance and department co-chair Donna Faye Burchfield. “The work of the women in our dance department is thought of as smart, sassy, cutting-edge, and sophisticated.”
Wexler’s choreography was cited for “its sophisticated exploration of structure, stage space and use of props; its reinvention of social dance through the juxtaposition of social dance movement vocabulary from one era with social dance music from another era; and for its sense of urgency and wit.”
Navy Blue was performed by Constance Teage ’08 and Lyndsey Carr and He Jin Jang, who are both enrolled in the Hollins/ADF M.F.A. program.
The National Festival brings together hundreds of students and faculty from approximately 30 colleges and universities from around the country for three days of gala performances. This year marks the fifth time in the last 12 years that Hollins, which offers a B.A./B.F.A. in dance and a Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Dance, has been represented at the National Festival.
