Description:
The Radford University Department of Dance presents "The Shadow Waltz," a dance and theatre piece inspired by oral histories of miners on Thursday, April 25th and Friday, April 26th in Albig Studio Theatre located in Peters Hall.

The interdisciplinary piece, which includes performances by RU dance students, weaves miners’ stories with dance, music and text to reflect the history and mystique of Appalachian coal mining. With funding from a Radford University faculty research grant, Associate Professor Deborah McLaughlin, a choreographer and director of dance education at RU, collaborated with Theresa Burriss, director of the Appalachian Studies Program, to use oral histories as well as her own research as seed material.
