The lineup will feature an eclectic collection of works by eight student choreographers from the PAD's Dance Program. All works were selected by a jury of dance faculty. Styles include modern, tap and ballet.

Performances will begin at 8 p.m. today, at 2 and 8 p.m. April 3 and at 2 p.m. April 4.

After the 2 p.m. April 3 performance, the PAD will host a dessert-and-coffee reception for Annelise Mertz, professor emeritus of dance, who recently received a 2004 Missouri Arts Award — the state's highest honor for achievement in the arts — for her contributions to arts education. Mertz and Jeffery Matthews, artist-in-residence in the PAD, will read excerpts from her recent book, The Body Can Speak.

Tickets — $12 for the general public and $8 for seniors, students and WUSTL faculty and staff — are available through the Edison Theatre Box Office.
