Torri Adams, a sophomore theatre arts major from Sandy, said when she and her husband moved to Cedar City, they got involved with the Cedar Valley Community Theatre and performed in a show with the company in the summer. She said she wanted to use that experience as her EDGE project, but hadnt taken UNIV 3925 yet, so she said she asked the theatre if it had a choreographer for its next production. After discussing it with other members of the production team, they decided they would love to have me do the choreography and I enrolled in UNIV 3925, she said. Adams said doing the project from the Creativity Engagement Center was the perfect fit for her. I believe that creating new things is what keeps us young and active, she said. It is a very important aspect of our lives and definitely something I am passionate about. The Creativity Engagement Center is a great w'ay for more people to get involved in making something great. Todd Petersen, director of the Creativity Engagement Center, said if students want the chance to be able to make or build something, perform, create or work on an undergraduate research project, the Creativ ty Engagement Center is the place for them.
