WINSTON-SALEM -- Featuring works by guest artists Ivy Baldwin and Daniel Clifton as well as compositions by contemporary dance faculty members Trish Casey, Brenda Daniels and Dianne Markham, Fall Dance begins the North Carolina School of the Arts dance season when it opens on Nov. 13.  

Fall Dance will run Nov. 13-17 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 17 at 2 p.m. in the historic Agnes de Mille Theatre on the campus of the North Carolina School of the Arts, located at 1533 South Main St., Winston-Salem.

In keeping with NCSA tradition, Fall Dance will highlight the talents of college and selected high school contemporary dance students performing in the works of the following guest artists and faculty: 

• Ivy Baldwin: Guest artist and NCSA alumna Ivy Baldwin’s new work Could be nice… , set to original music by Justin Jones, will take the audience on a bizarre journey exploiting taste and smell.
• Daniel Clifton: Guest artist Daniel Clifton’s artistic experience includes student, teacher, performer, and choreographer. He was a member of nicholasleichterdance for seven years and is currently an M.F.A candidate in the Hollins University/ American Dance Festival Program.
• Trish Casey: Dance faculty member and NCSA alumna Trish Casey’s new work Out of the blue is a sectional piece co-created with the extraordinary input of her dancers. The work explores being human and being spirit and the many ways we connect with one another.   
• Brenda Daniels: Assistant Dean Brenda Daniels’ work is choreographed to J.S. Bach's monumental Chaconne in D minor for solo violin, which will be performed live by NCSA violin student Brian Ford at each performance. Both stark and luscious, the dance uses four dancers and four chairs.
• Dianne Markham: Dance faculty member Dianne Markham’s high-energy work Motorbase is based on the generative energies of the dancers and includes music composed and performed live by John Wilson and Colin Tribby.

 The North Carolina School of the Arts was the first state-supported, residential performing arts school in the nation. Today, it is a leading conservatory of international renown, offering professional training for careers in the performing, visual, and moving image arts.
