Ignite...and the ART in YOU: February 11-13, 2022

Ignite: NTID Dance Performance
directed by Marc Holland

Ignite, presented by NTID Department of Performing Arts, features the newly formed RIT DanceCore, an ensemble of talented student dancers with choreography by DanceCore director, Marc Ellis Holland and RIT director of dance, Thomas Warfield. More than exploring different ways to make a shape or learning a series of steps to music, this dance performance presents ways of moving that use the body as an instrument of expression and communication. The performance will also include collaborations with live music, theatre students and projection design. ​​

After the challenges of COVID-19, Panara Theatre welcomed audiences back for live performances, prioritizing the safety of students, faculty, staff, and patrons. RIT/NTID Performing Arts required all attendees to show proof of full vaccination and wear masks inside the theatre. Seating was limited to 50% capacity to allow for physical distancing, and the theatre was thoroughly cleaned after each performance. These measures ensured a safe and memorable return to live theatre.
