David MarchantWashington University Dance TheatreFrom classic comedy to cutting-edge drama to original works by students and faculty artists, the Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences’ 2007-08 season has something for everyone. “This year’s season presents a series of voyages to different times and different places,” says Robert Henke, Ph.D., chair and associate professor in the PAD. “We will travel to places as diverse as rural Kentucky, Nigeria, the world of radio during wartime America, the Renaissance city, 18th-century England and the different places of the imagination where dance takes us. Through theater and dance, we are able to see the world and ourselves in different ways.”
