What a way to end the fall semester of 2013! My fellow classmates and I had the amazing privilege to premiere the late Pina Bausch's Wind von West for New Dances PLUS: Edition 2013. The piece was reconstructed to honor the 40th anniversary of Ms. Bausch's company, originally being choreographed in 1975 to a score by Igor Stravinsky. |

Alongside our calendar sales, we held our very first silent auction. Each member of the senior class was delegated certain areas of the city to scout out local vendors for donations, as well as pull together items contributed from our families to sell during the shows. From a pair of Gucci sunglasses to hand crafted cards made by our very own Maggie Segale, the silent auction was another victory on the way to our ultimate fund-raising goal for Senior Production. I would like to thank Yazmany, Accent Printing Design, and all of the vendors, families, and students that donated items to us; you helped us grow, flourish, and succeed this semester in more ways than you will ever know.
