Ƶ University is once again partnering with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (PBT) to host a dance residency with PBT dancers for Ƶ students. The residency program, in its second year, kicks off a semester of PBT activities on the Ƶ campus, including master classes and PBT performances at the University’s Performing Arts Center.
During the three-day residency on January 23, 25 and 27, a group of 50 Ƶ students will learn choreography from PBT dancers Amanda Cochrane, Julia Erickson, William Moore, Yoshiaki Nakano and Cooper Verona. The pieces the dancers will learn are all part of “Millennial Movement,” a collection of new works created by the five PBT dancers, which will be performed May 5 at 7 p.m. and May 6 at 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Ƶ University Performing Arts Center. Tickets for these performances can be purchased at .
Later in the spring semester, PBT artists will come to the Ƶ campus to teach master classes to both Ƶ dancers and youth dancers from throughout the community.
