Igor Stravinsky's ballet The Firebird and three
modern dances will be the highlights of the USC
Dance Company in Concert today through Sunday
at Longstreet Theatre.
Susan Anderson, dance director in the department
of theatre and speech, is choreographing the
show. Caroline Brawley, a USC alumna who is attending
graduate school in California, has returned
to perform the title role in The Firebird.
Libby Alewine, another USC alumna, plays the
sorcerer in the ballet. She said the piece is about a
bird and a sorcerer who have magical powers, and
what happens when two brothers who are out hunting
try to capture the bird.
Suzanne Davidson, also an alumna, portrays a
princess in the ballet. She and her husband got a
surprise in the midst of rehearsals two weeks ago.
