SYNOPSIS:
The Repertory Tour Ensemble is an intercultural/interdisciplinary performing arts project sponsored by UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures. The goal of this project is the creation and performance of an original, autobiographically based dance theater production to be performed for LAUSD students at the newly renovated Glorya Kaufman Dance Theater. The production will incorporate original text, music, dance, and movement, and will be completely collaborative in nature: developed, created, and performed by the college students enrolled in the class, in collaboration with instructor Kevin Kane.

This years show, “Shelter” explores contemporary issues of hunger, famine, need, desire, relief, taking, and giving through text, music, dance, and movement. The cast is young, energetic, very talented, and notably diverse in terms of backgrounds and performance skills. We have a strong balance of men and women who are UCLA students, many of whom are alumni of local high school performing arts programs. Our intention is that the piece might serve to initiate meaningful dialogue regarding relevant contemporary issues that are facing our students. In addition, we are hoping that the show will serve as an outreach of sorts. “Shelter” is an opportunity for local high school students to experience the performing arts being created at UCLA- work from an academic community that truly values diversity and personal expression in the arts. High school students will gain insight into UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures and learn a bit about what it would take for them to follow a course of education in this department, at UCLA, or at any college or university.
