Reflecting On A “Legacy” Of Dance Theatre By Dayna M. Reidenouer

“Pat (Kautter) started the program in 1984 as a club activity. It grew to what it is under her leadership until 2008,” related Cody Smith, Kautter’s former student, former assistant, and eventual successor as director of Hempfield High School’s Dance Theatre. The 35th annual Dance Theatre production is also Smith’s 25th year of involvement, and he has drawn on pieces from the three-and-a-half decades for “Legacy,” which will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, in the Hempfield High School Performing Arts Center, 200 Stanley Ave., Landisville. A senior citizen preview performance of “Legacy” is slated for Thursday, May 2, at 7 p.m. Admission to the preview - the show’s

final dress rehearsal - will be free to all residents of Hempfield School District age 65 years and older. Tickets or preregistration are not required for the preview. For “Legacy,” Smith has chosen to reimagine some of the most iconic pieces from Dance Theatre’s history. Some original choreography has been included, and longtime patrons will recognize some throwbacks. Additionally, some songs from the past have been revisited with new concepts or contexts. “I chose pieces that I feel best represent the program and my friend Pat Kautter,” Smith said. “The rationale behind the pieces is to create a piece of theater that represents and encompasses the span of this program and the impact it has had on this community.” Smith is an embodiment of that See Dance Theatre pg 10

To commemorate 35 years of Dance Theatre, a show featuring reimagined past favorites will be performed at Hempfield High School on May 3, 4, and 5. This year also marks the 25th year that director Cody Smith, surrounded by the cast’s principal dancers, has been involved with Dance Theatre.
