The program will also spotlight an original work by USC dance Professor Melody Schaper, who has choreographed a modem pas de deux to Claude DeBussy's "Claire de Lune." The work "Mirrors of the Moon" will feature students Angie Hauser and Jeremy Jacobs in a love duet of passion, tenderness and support. The dancers "speak" to each other in voice-overs diat are read during the performance. First the woman's poem, "Mirrors," is read, followed the man's poem, "Learning to Dance." The poems were written by North Carolina poet Thomas Rain Crowe. Another modern work, "Inspirations," has been choreographed by University of Georgia dance Professor BaJa Sarasvati. "Inspirations" is a fast-paced "work in the style of legendary 11 American choreographer Martha t Graham and is set to the music of ^ Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto." Guest choreographer Darrell ^ Cooper, a former dancer with the S Atlanta Ballet, has choreographed a d fun jazz piece to a big band sound.
