This year's festivities, scheduled Dec. 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Marriott Center, will pay homage to both Utah's Centennial Centen-nial celebration and the university's Imperial Tombs of China art exhibition with select numbers from Asia and the United States. Tickets are available avail-able through the Marriott Center Cen-ter ticket office, (801) 378-BYM or 1-800-322-BYU1. The concert will open with guest artist Yayoi Matsuoka Swapp performing a graceful Chinese ribbon dance where she makes lengths of fabric twist and bend as gracefully as the holiday season's sugary ribbon candy. "We have gorgeous new teal costumes with flowered patterns pat-terns for the ten female dancers who will open our program with Yayoi," says Edwin Austin, artistic ar-tistic director. "The dance is a challenge our women have absolutely ab-solutely loved to the fullest. Yayoi has been teaching them the subtleties of head and eye movements that are so natural GD KUTV 60 Minutes (In Stereo) KTVX Home Videos Home Videos Loisl Clark-Superman "Groundhog Day" (1992, Comedy) Bill Murray, m itoisi Inside Edition SUNDAY EVENING JKULC KUED Nature (R) (In Stereo) a National Geographic 35IKBYU American Civilization Ghostwriter American Civilization Growing Old in a New Age In the Wild 3 KSTU Simpsons a dMartin a Married...

IS for her, but so foreign to us. It is a beautiful dance." A special Western set that features dances that would have been brought to the Utah territory ter-ritory is also planned for the concert, con-cert, which is designated as an official event of the Utah Centennial Cen-tennial Celebration Commission. Commis-sion. "To add to our American seg-ment, seg-ment, we are bringing in a couple of great clogging groups from Sandy, Utah, and Burley, Idaho, to show us how hot this dance form has become," says Edwin Austin, artistic director. An additional pleasure, says Austin, is the introduction of several new dances, including one from Argentina he and his . associates saw while touring Canada. "When you add a new dance, you try to replicate it while realizing the parameters of a theatrical setting," he says. "To get the costumes correct, the dancing in perfected form, and the music in the most authentic way possible, must be a little like giving birth. We certainly are producing something new for us." Of particular interest to Austin Aus-tin is the introduction of a Russian Rus-sian quadrille that depicts the romantic lives and involvements of four couples. "You have a woman who is in love with a man who is hardly aware that she is there and has no sensitivity for what she is feeling for him, and you see a carefree, pretty girl who could get any young man " she wanted and does not realize how many hearts she breaks in the process. You also see a young couple truly in love with each other. These characterizations unfold during this wonderful dance." In a concert that always strives to offer much that is new, it also brings back especially popular segments or reintroduces dances that have not been seen for many years to a new generation of Christmas Around the World audiences. Returning this year is Dancing Danc-ing Waters, an element that has been especially well-received with Christmas Around the World. Austin thinks the festival has matured, not only in the dancing, but also in the technical techni-cal aspects. "Scott Horman, Russ Ridgeway, and Charles Cox have created a set and lighting light-ing design that greatly enhances anything we have seen in the past," Austin says. In a nod to tradition, the concert con-cert will conclude with the traditional tradi-tional Hopak, a Ukraine specialty special-ty that has been characteristic of Christmas concerts since the years of founding director Mary Bee Jensen. "Our audiences would be disappointed if they did not see this annual showstopper," Austin adds. |
