By Shauna Steele
In reflecting on what my directors note would be this year, I realized something important and amazing. The seniors you will see onstage tonight started their college journey on a sea of shifting sands, in the middle of a hurricane and stepped into the unknown to play a game where the rules were forever shifting.
They began their college career not just with the normal unknowns of moving away from home, how could they become a dancer...or a dancing double major but how will I dance? How will I learn? Will there be any jobs out there once Covid ends? When will Covid end? They arrived on campus in masks, had to stay 6-10 feet away from each other at all times, dance in defined squares in the studios, take classes online that would normally not be engaged in that way. I believe they have thrived in part not in spite of this unknown that shut down the entire world but because of it. They are all strong dancers, with clearly defined purpose and goals both inside and outside of dance. They are exactly what we hoped would develop when we frantically started making our plans for the future when the world shut down.
They have become leaders amongst their peers.
We can’t seem to get away from mentions of Covid and even here I really did try...but I can’t really and truly honor not just the seniors but all of the other students, faculty, staff, parents, and family that have continued to trust, persevere, find joy, and create magic without mentioning it. This concert is a reflection of that spirit of looking forward into a terrifying and horrifying unknown and finding not just a ‘pivot’ but an entirely new language, road...in essence creating a new recipe of ingredients but using a ‘starter.’ We engaged in collaborations, new choreographic ideas, new ways to interact, new ways to create.
The result is onstage in the strength of technique, artistry, and aesthetic...of the dancers, choreogsraphers and student and faculty design collaborators and I absolutely look forward to seeing what we will all do in the future as we find new moments that ‘take our breath away!’

Raised in Santa Monica, California, Peter Davison began his performing career when he learned to juggle at age 12. While in his teens, Peter performed around Los Angeles as a busker, and he was cast as a juggler in the movie Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. In 1982, Peter won first place at the National Juggling Championships and became a founding member of the trio Airjazz, which pioneered a unique style of performance mixing juggling, dance, and theater. Airjazz appeared at venues such as the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, New Zealand International Arts Festival, Hong Kong Arts Festival, and The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Since the 1990's, Peter's solo performances include the Carmel/California Performing Arts Festival, Cincinnati Playhouse, Utah State Arts Tour, Seattle's Moisture Festival, 5-3-1 Festival of New Juggling and Object Theatre in Finland, Chicago Contemporary Circus Festival, and the CBS, BBC, and Fox TV networks. From 2004 to 2015, Peter was Co-Artistic Director of Boulder Ballet, where he choreographed numerous works for both the company and students. His choreography has also been performed by Ballet Nouveau Colorado, Saint Paul Ballet, and the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, among others, and he earned the 2009 Ballet Builders Award from New Choreographers on Pointe in New York City
Raised in Arvada, Colorado, began Jennifer Aiken dance training at the Arvada Center with Christina Noel, Eve Paris, and Lisi Elsey.

While at Colorado College, she had the opportunity to perform with the California Ballet, Opera Theater of the Rockies, and at the American College Dance Festival, performing in Hanya Holm's Capers and Doris Humphrey's Soaring. Jennifer began her professional career with Boulder Ballet, becoming a principal in 2003. There she performed contemporary works by Robert North, Peter Davison, James Wallace, and Lance Hardin, and numerous classical roles. In 2009, Jennifer was praised by Dance Europe Magazine for her performance at the Ballet Builders Showcase of New Choreography in New York City. She has been a company member with BRIAH Danse, David Taylor Dance Theater, Dawson Wallace Dance Project, and Zikr Dance Ensemble, and is currently a company member of 3rd Law Dance/Theater.
