jJallet Theatre and has done choreography

Baryshnikov. Littleford isa principal dancer
with the Martha Graham Dance Company.
"After graduation my plans are to join a
professional post modem dance company
in the Bay Area, one that deals with contem¬
porary issues in a fun and abstract way,"
Diaz said.
"The University DanceConcert is unique
because students run the entire production
including choreography, performance, tech-
nica 1 support and publicity. Approximantly
20 students will be participating.
1 hope that students wiU take this oppor¬
tunity to see the creative efforts of other
students," said Diaz. "Ifs nice to see what
the human body cando. The body isa place
where art can happen. Art is not something
that is apart from you. Everybody has the
potential. Art, dance, it's what we are, not
just what we do. Ifs how we do it. Dance
relatestomusic, painting,sculpture,archi¬
tecture. Dance ... ifs really a wonderful
thing."
