The Cornish College of the Arts Dance Department is pleased to present a three-week residency with master choreographer Bill Evans, September 24 - October 15, 2007. The residency will celebrate Evans' influence on modern dance in the Pacific Northwest and at Cornish College of the Arts. During his three-week residency, Evans will teach daily master classes to Cornish dance students and re-stage his dance Mixin' It Up for the Cornish Dance Theater, the department's undergraduate performing ensemble. The residency will include several community events.
Mixin' It Up was premiered in Seattle in 1979, and was Evans' second collaboration with the renowned jazz ensemble, the Bill Evans Trio. Mixin' It Up will be re-staged at Cornish College in collaboration with the Cornish Music Department.
