The Department of Theatre and Dance will host their latest production, “Dreamscapes: a Multimedia Dance Event,” from Feb. 6 to Feb. 15 in the UTEP Wise Family Theatre at the Fox Fine Arts Center.

William Shakespeare, Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Remedios Varo and Edgar Allan Poe inspired the combination of original and contemporary choreography used in the play.

“All of us, no matter how successful or sane, we are deemed by society, have strong personal mythologies of self-image aspiration, grief, joy, terror, community and sense of purpose,” said Andrea Vazquez, visiting assistant professor of dance. “‘Dreamscapes’ is a world where these mythologies are illuminated and celebrated. Their cast is comprised by 14 dancers–all of them dance majors. The choreographic process started earlier in the fall semester. The dancers have been very open, committed, playful and disciplined. I am interested in highlighting their uniqueness as dance artists.”

This performance aims to captivate audience members with different movements that are found on a conscience or subconscious level.

Andrea Saucedo, senior dance major and performer in “Dreamscapes,” said the music will be both recorded and live music.

“The performance will be diverse with many different kinds of styles in dance which include ballet, contemporary, jazz and improvisation,” Saucedo said.

Tickets are available at the UTEPTicket Center for $13 for general admission and $9 for students.
