WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue Repertory Dance Company will present its Winter Works 2004 Dance Concert on Dec. 9-11 in Stewart Center's Experimental Theatre.

The dance company, which is housed in the Patti and Rusty Rueff Department of Visual and Performing Arts, will perform at 8 p.m. on Dec. 9, 10 and 11. There also will be a performance at 3 p.m. on Dec. 11.
One of the works that will be highlighted will be "And, About, Around," a group work choreographed by Carol Cunningham, professor of dance.
"Through abstract gesture, 'And, About, Around' depicts behavioral changes between friends who have spent too much time together in a close environment," Cunningham said. "As the piece unfolds, certain individuals show less tolerance toward those who display peculiar habits.
Other works in the show created by Purdue seniors and faculty are:
• "The Point," choreographed by Sally Wallace, associate professor of dance.
• "Daisy Transmission," choreographed by Holly Jacox, continuing lecturer.
• Selections from "Swan Lake," choreographed by Marisol Ortiz, continuing lecturer.
• "Holding on, to Dream," choreographed by political science major Kathleen Hickey from Steger, Ill.
• "Resilience," choreographed by Christy Jacobs, an interior design major and dance minor from Lafayette.
• "D.P.G. '83," choreographed by Joe Hayes, a senior in fine arts from Terre Haute, Ind.
• "Undertow," choreographed by Laurie Caird, a senior in visual communications design from Saginaw, Mich.
• "The Limit of Containment," choreographed by Renee Murray, a junior in communication from Chicago.
Tickets for the performances are $12 for adults, $10 for students and $6 for children ages 12 and under. To order tickets, call the box office at (765) 494-3933 or (800) 914-SHOW.
