Garth Fagan Dance Celebrates a Successful 2011 Home Season

We opened our Home Season Nov. 29 at the Nazareth College Arts Center with the premiere of Fagan's Madiba, a tribute to Nelson Mandela, and Pennewell's Liminal Flux.  The season, which ran through Sunday, Dec. 4th, also featured the revivals of Until, By & If and In Memoriam, among other cherished works from the Company's repertoire.  Audience members during the Saturday and Sunday matinees were also treated to the Garth Fagan Dance School Ensemble's performance of their piece, Cuwinicu, choreographed by Ensemble Director, William Ferguson.

Thank you to all of our loyal patrons and fans who enjoyed the performances.  And a special thank you to all of our raffle participants and winners!
