This past week was filled with several activities hosted by the Center for Performing Arts, based in Eisenhower Auditorium. Specifically, on Nov. 5, the dance trio, Soles of Duende, performed and showed off their three specialties: tap, flamenco and kathak.
As a preshow engagement activity, the Center for Performing Arts hosted one event from their Joyfull series to advertise Soles and get the community excited for the performance.
A Night Of Fun
The night, hosted at Alumni Hall, was filled with joy and excitement toward their piece. Each table was decorated with questions that prompted tablewide discussion and, as a result, a stronger sense of community. Additionally, the night was filled with several performances that showcased the importance of dance in the world of performing arts.
Dancing The Night Away
Rince Na Leon, Penn State’s Irish dance team, kicked off the performances with their precision and collaboration and made sure everyone there was having a great time. Many of the attendees might have been exposed to Irish dancing for the first time — another reason why the Joyfulls are so enriching to attend.
The next performance was Dark Storm, Penn State’s step team. With their neatness and lines in the dance, many audience members were engrossed in the performance.
As a way to engage them even further, Dark Storm invited people up on the floor to learn some dance moves. Many people rushed to the front, and they did some moves for the others in the audience to watch. It was a great way to introduce culture and interests to those who have never had the exposure.
Soles of Duende then entered, where they gave a small preview of their show for the next day.
Though all three of the dances had many differences, the dancers were able to blend all of them in a unique way. There was an opportunity for each type of dance to be highlighted, and it stood for a greater symbol of how, despite our differences, we still have many opportunities to stay united.
Looking To The Future
They ended their performance with a small Q&A session with the audience and answered several questions, such as how they came to be and how they choreographed their performances. The night ended with the audience getting dinner and having a good time talking with their tablemates.
The Center for Performing Arts has hosted Joyfulls in the past and will continue to do so in the coming months. Engage in the community and learn more about events on campus by attending the next Joyfull. You might just learn something new about the performing arts world.
