Hello all!
I hope you all had a good summer! Enjoy the last few weeks, this is going to be a busy and exciting year for all of us, so get ready!
The fall semester begins this year on Wednesday, September 1, and there are several events in the first week you need to be aware of:
Wednesday, September 1st, 4pm, Black Box All DRAM 55 Meeting.
This does not include first-years, but everyone else in 55.
Wednesday, September 1st, 4pm, Black Box Intimations for Saxophone first rehearsal.
Saturday, September 4th, 10a.m.-2p.m. Dempster Dance Studio
Auditions for Fall Dance Concert.
Tuesday, September 7th, 7p.m. Lowe 106 Cabaret first rehearsal.
Wednesday, September 8th, 4pm, Dempster Dance Studio All Majors Meeting.
Please come to hear important department announcements, meet and greet new and returning faculty and the in-coming first year students. Clubs, please be ready with any announcements you would like to make.
You should also plan to come to the Drama and Dance Department office sometime during that first week of classes to fill out a white departmental registration card (this is separate from registration for your classes). You can also fill these cards out online at poowabah.info. You should fill out a department card each semester that you are at Hofstra. These tell us that you are, indeed, a dance or drama major, and assures that you are assigned an advisor for future class registration. It also provides us important information as to how to reach you on campus by email or telephone. Remember, the Drama and Dance Department office is located in 102 Emily Lowe Hall.
We found a new rehearsal space for you! The former student lounge in the basement of Lowe has been transformed into a changing area (for daytime use) and a drama rehearsal room (after 6p.m.) This will be the place for dance and drama students to change into their dance or movement gear. Students will no longer be allowed to change in the second floor bathrooms or in the studios. Since Jean Giebel is stepping down as Chair of the department, she is moving her office to the second floor. Jean’s office will become the new student lounge, open to all drama and dance students.
Finally, in addition to myself taking over as chair, Rych Curtiss has been promoted to the position of Managing Director of the Drama and Dance Department. This will largely not affect students, but is more of an administration shuffle that will help us to more efficiently produce our season.
Enjoy the end of your break. Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!
David M. Henderson, Chair
Department of Drama and Dance
