Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT), founded in 1966 in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a professional modern dance repertory company dedicated to the creation, performance, perpetuation, and appreciation of modern dance. For more than 57 years, RDT has pushed the boundaries of modern dance, while preserving and celebrating its legacy. RDT will perform selections from "The Mazurkas," first presented by the Jose Limon Dance Company in 1958 to pay tribute to the heroic spirit of the Polish people in their revival after World War II; selected works by Michio Ito, who brought about the literary, musical, and artistic breakthroughs of modernism, and the eclectic beginnings of American modern dance; "Something About Night," with choreography by Lar Lubovitch, whose motivation was a desire to be quiet and the quieting of the mind; and "Outdoors," a contemporary, tribalistic, pattern-piece filled with quirky invention and laced with rhythmic humor by choreographers Noa Zuk and Ohad Fishof. Thanks to a partnership with the University of Idaho Department of Movement Sciences and the University of Idaho Dance Program, students in the Dance Program will spend the week learning from RDT Artistic Associate Nicholas Cendese and will perform his choreography during the evening’s program.
