Masters of Dance Weekend at Green Street

Pamela Tatge Brings Contemporary Dance to Middletown

Middletown, Conn., February 16, 2011— For the past eleven years, in collaboration with Wesleyan University’s Dance Department, Center for the Arts Director Pamela Tatge has brought contemporary dance to Middletown from around the world. On February 27 at 2pm, community members are invited to join her at Green Street Arts Center as a part of the Sunday Salon Discussion Series.

Tatge’s unmitigated enthusiasm for the field of contemporary dance transformed the Wesleyan Center for the Arts program offerings, and she will share her experiences and expertise with the companies she was responsible for bringing to the area. Ms. Tatge will look back at the illustrious dance companies that have taken the stage over the past twelve years and preview this year’s DanceMasters Weekend with videos of The Suzanne Farrell Ballet, Gallim Dance, and Ronald K. Brown/Evidence A Dance Company.

The Sunday Salon Discussion Series is a monthly series of intriguing conversations with Wesleyan faculty, staff, and alumni, and accompanied by treats from O’Rourke’s Diner. The Masters of Wesleyan’s DanceMasters Weekend will take place at 2pm on Sunday, February 27 at Green Street Arts Center located at 51 Green Street in Middletown.  Admission is a suggested donation of $5.  For more information or to register call 860-685-7871 or visit www.greenstreetartscenter.org.  This series is co-sponsored by the Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies at Wesleyan (www.wesleyan.edu/masters).
