The College of Southern Nevada Dance Program presents The Spring Dance Formal 2024. In celebration of Spring we will debut new works with The CSN Concert Company in collaboration with the CSN Theatre, Videography and Music Programs. We have created a Site-Specific Dance, and Dance for Film project entitled “Desert in Motion.” The original score, “Three Scenes From the Desert,” was composed by Australian-born, Dr. Alex Stopa. Dr. Stopa, a resident of Las Vegas, is in high demand as a drummer, percussionist, marimba soloist, and composer. Praised for his “wonderfully creative musical instincts, dazzling technique and high-octane stage presence,” (Scott Stevens, New York Metropolitan Opera) he has performed extensively in the United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore, France, Belgium, Japan, and Hong Kong. We are proud and honored to be able to realize his piece live, with this groundbreaking inter-departmental collaboration.
