While some couples may be staring lovingly at each other
over a candlelit dinner this Valentine’s Day, sharing that last noodle “Lady and
the Tramp”-style, others will be sitting in the mood lighting of Memorial Union
Theater, wishing the armrests could be moved to the upright position. After
all, a performance hosted by Ra Fury must be romantic… right?
But more than romance, this is about talent. Thursday, the
WUD Student Performance Committee will put on a free event showcasing a variety
of student groups, providing an outlet for some of the many student performers
on campus. The groups chosen to perform at this event exemplify the diverse
talents and interests of our student body.
The showcase will feature Redefined, Fundamentally Sound,
Lucido Felice Quartet, Dance Elite, UW Bellydancing, Omulu Capoeira Guanabara,
the Understudies Improv ComedyTroupe and First Wave Spoken Word.
Melodious harmonies, energetic performances and a little bit
of humor are to be expected from a cappella groups Redefined and Fundamentally
Sound. With a combined repertoire including songs by
Representing art in the form of dance are Dance Elite, UW
Bellydancing and Omulu Capoeira Guanabara. The competitive dance group Dance
Elite brings its mastery of jazz dance to the showcase. UW Bellydancing
provides instruction for beginning dancers as well as performance outlets for
dancers in intermediate and advanced levels. Omulu Capoeira performs a unique
form of martial arts, combining dance with music, acrobatics and martial arts
to create this collective art form native to
The Understudies Improv Comedy Troupe and First Wave Spoken
Word will close out the show. Entertaining through improvisational comedy, the
Understudies use their humor and ability to think on their feet to provide a
comedy act, while spoken word artists from First Wave will center on hip-hop
culture.
The Student
Performance Showcase will take place Thursday at 8 p.m. in the Memorial Union
Theater.
