The concert will feature the choreography of Southeastern faculty and students, live music by Southeastern musicians and singers, and a special contribution by guest artist-in-residence Skip Costa of New York's COREmovement Project and NYLA Dance Conventions.       For Fellom’s “Rapunzel,” Southeastern author Alan Marsh has created another mythology, a new twist -- with an edge -- on the original fairytale. The timeless story of the beauty with flowing locks is brought to life through dance, choreographed by Southeastern students Jarrod Cashe, Kristin Brooke Johnson, and Micah Richerand.      Auditioning dancers must be at least 16 years old and should wear appropriate dance attire with jazz or ballet shoes. Barefoot is acceptable.       Southeastern students selected for the performances must register for a fall 2004 semester one-hour credit dance ensemble class and one of the following one-hour courses – introduction to dance technique, modern dance I, modern dance II, ballet I, ballet II, or jazz I.
