CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—“OVER/ and Over,” a collaborative dance performance featuring alumni and teachers of Phillips Academy, will be held at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 20, and Saturday, Aug. 21, at Green Street Studio, 185 Green St., Central Square, Cambridge. The performers and choreographers of United Dancers of Phillips Academy (UDOPA) bring a wide range of experiences to this project, creating a rich texture of dance making and performing. Included are conservatory students, university students, professional choreographers, dancers just beginning their professional careers and young professionals working in the fields of computers and education.

“The event promises to be a dynamic experience, bridging generations and reuniting old friends,” says choreographer Judith Wombwell, Phillips Academy instructor in dance, who created three new works for the performance.

Other choreographers for “OVER/ and Over” include April Betty, Anne Zuerner, Liz Vacco and Midge Brecher. Betty, who recently received a B.A. in dance from Bard College and has been working with children and performing in the Boston area, has created a new group piece. Zuerner, a Barnard graduate who returned to Andover to teach dance and perform in the Boston area with Anna Myer and Dancers, will perform two self-choreographed solos, one in high heels, the other in wrestling shoes. She also will present a new trio in which dancers behave like robots. Vacco’s new work features “Immediate Medium,” a company whose paths converged in 1996 while attending Yale University as artists experimenting in different media, including performance art, photography, film, architecture, theatre, dance, sculpture, video and writing. Retired Phillips Academy faculty member Brecher will restage a duet she originally created for the dancers when they were secondary students.

Performers include Natalie Wombwell, who is in the dance conservatory at Purchase College; Brienne Leon, who performs with the Yale dancers; Natalie Ho, who studies dance at Brown University; Comfort Halsey and Emily Reynolds of Andover; Eleanor Kusner, who studied dance at Barnard College and performs with Anna Myer and Dancers; and Miles Lasater of New Haven; as well as Betty, Wombwell, Vacco and performers of “Immediate Medium.”
