Parsons Dance brings style, showmanship
to Encore finale

   The 2008 edition of Northwest’s Encore performing arts series will come to a dramatic and contemporary close at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 13, in the Performing Arts Center with an appearance by the world-renowned Parsons Dance Company.
   For tickets, call 660.562.1212 (ext. 1212 on campus) or go to www.nwmissouri.edu/tickets.
   Millions have thrilled to choreographer David Parson’s work during the company’s performances on PBS, Bravo, A&E Network and the Discovery Channel. As the year 2000 dawned, one of the largest television audiences in history watched Parsons Dance perform live in Times Square during the 24-hour Millennium New Year’s Eve broadcast. MORE

   The final event in this spring’s Encore/Distinguished Lecture line-up is a presentation by Barbara Martinez Jitner, a noted writer/director/producer whose work focuses on the lives and contributions of Latin American women.
   Martinez Jitner will speak at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, in the Performing Arts Center. Admission is free.
   As an executive producer, she played a major part in the creation of PBS’ “American Family: Journey of Dreams.” The series, which debuted in 2002, was the first Latino family drama ever broadcast on a major U.S. television network.

Students, instructor taking icy dip for charity

   Four “winners” of the Colden Pond Plunge will brave the elements during one of the coldest winters in recent memory at 1 p.m. Friday, Feb. 29 -- “leap day” -- by jumping into the small reservoir located behind Colden Hall on the Northwest campus.
   The foursome, consisting of three students and a faculty member, was selected after raising the most money in the latest Up ‘til Dawn effort in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. MORE
