Cultural Activities Held in November at Bracken

Visitors to Bracken Library enjoyed two performances in the lobby recently. On Thursday, November 15, 2008, a sneak preview of the Department of Theatre and Dance's Indiana Choreographers Dance Concert featured dance styles such as ballet, modern, clogging, jazz, and samba. Lou Ann Young, Assistant Professor, worked with Audra Sokol, Stacy Pottinger, and Michael Worcel to choreograph the program.

On Wednesday, November 28, the University Libraries showcased Mozart's one-act pastoral opera, Bastien and Bastienne, as performed by Early Music Muncie. The group features Ball State University undergraduates, graduates and doctoral candidates. Thanks to David Zimmerman in his role as Bastien, to Kerri Lyn Francini who portrayed Bastienne, and to the Libraries’ Music Collection Coordinator, D. Jason Smith, who played the part of Colas. Barbara Briner-Jones accompanied the performance on piano.
