Many have, in fact, chosen to abandon lucrative careers to pursue what they love . to create and to portray the expression of their souls. An example of the budget cuts locally came as a reminder to about 150 modern dancers from 21 western colleges who performed at the UofU last month.

Her tone, while perhaps admitting injury, was definitely not one of defeat. Instead, she announced in Joan of Arc fashion that funding or no funding, the festival would continue to be held. If need be, she vowed, the American College Dance Festival will be hosted at the UofU next year. perienced adjudicators Nancy Hauser of Minneapolis, Cliff Keuter of San Jose and Marian Van Tuyl of San Francisco. What these artists realized was the potential that such an event can hold for both dancers and choreographers alike. Such a festival cannot help but give dancers an idea about what is a standard of excellence in a relatively new form of art. If this sort of thing keeps up, dancers may one day earn the dubious distinction of being called organized. Standards for artists to judge themselves by, are difficult, but frankly necessary if one is seeking vo someday pursue a craft and actually earn food, shelter and clothing while at it. What the festival provided, as far as it got this year. Was a place lor dedicated artists to share their works and to sharpen their talents by viewing the works of others. As I see it, the arts exist because they provide something to pull everyday folk away from the drudgery of a 40-ho- work week. Hopefully they give something more that common forms of entertainment, by portraying something we can relate to and leaving us with something to ponder, discuss or maybe even dream about. Dedicated artists, however, are often so removed from everyday society that some become almost oblivious to goings on around them. Ive heard dancer friends say often, that they are instructed to basically eat, breathe and sleep dance. Im not suggesting that artists compromise their arts by changformat. ing to a But, especially in these times of budget slashing, they will have to mass-oriente- d make themselves more aware of their audiences if they expect support from the private sector. Success will come more readily to those who provide something tangible for a fairly wide range of people.
