The Dance Program in the department of theater and dance at Case Western Reserve University will present three new works during the fall concert of the Mather Dance Collective (MaDaCol).

Performances are 8 p.m. November 20 and 21 and 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. November 22 at Mather Dance Center.

Graduate student directors Sharon Manuel and Sarah McCalister, along with full-time lecturer Beth Salemi, will present new works featuring dancers from the Case community.

Using the third section of Steve Reich's "Drumming," Manuel explores the relationship between the dancers in space in the same way as Reich plays with the percussion instruments rhythmically. McCalister works with music that is the result of a collaboration among musicians including The Chieftains, Bela Fleck and John Hiatt.

Salemi has set her dance work to a string quartet composition that explores variations on the theme of "Waltzing Matilda." The dance mirrors the musical composition both in structure and tone.

No reservations are needed. Tickets are $3 at the door. For information, call 216-368-6262.
