Local Dancers Come Home UO Repertory Dance Company finishes 8th annual tour. BY RACHAEL CARNES They say a rolling stone gathers no moss, and the hard-working dancers of the UO Repertory Dance Company have been rolling all spring. Throughout the state they've offered residencies, master classes, lecture-demonstrations and full concerts, giving the select group of UORDC dancers a taste of life in a touring dance company: fame, glory, eating from vending machines … After traveling to Newport, Cottage Grove, Milwaukee and Bend, the UO's touring dance ensemble celebrates National Dance Week with a hometown victory lap April 28 and 29. One highlight of the spring concert includes Gabriel Masson's Lines, Arcs, Angles, and Sound. Geometry juxtaposes with sinewy romance in this work that features a score by the UO's own Music Director of Dance Christian Cherry. Also on the bill, UO Distinguished Dance Alumna for 2005 Tiffany Mills, a New York-based choreographer, has set a portion of her piece for the UORDC dancers. Godard, based on the films of Jean Luc Godard, trumpets with an original score by composer John Zorn. And a women's studies theme emerges as associate professor Amy Stoddart offers a new solo to a score by John Adams intertwined with a poem by Maya Angelou. Associate professor Walter Kennedy adds his 1998 work that contrasts stark images of women's body image issues with a more innocent and affectionate look at dreams and girlish play. UORDC At Home will be presented at 8 pm April 28 and 29 at the Dougherty Dance Theatre on the third floor of Gerlinger Annex, 1484 University St. Tickets are available at the door; $10 gen., $5 stu. and sen. Seating is limited. Doors open at 7:30 pm. For more info call 346-3386.
