SHARP EDGES PRESENTS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH DANCE PERFORMANCE
      HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University and the Sharp Edges dance company will present “Hereafter Know As . . . a Study in Losing and Gaining Definition” at noon, March 26, in the War Memorial Student Union Ballroom.
      Southeastern faculty member Greta Sharp, the Sharp Edges dance company coordinator, has choreographed this new work as part of the university’s month-long celebration of Women’s History Month.
      “The performance leaves one with a feeling of hope and light,” said Sharp. “It speaks to every woman. It asks the question how do we define ourselves now in 2003? ” 
      By using a mix of antiquated stereotypes and farcical situations in a series of solo and group pieces, Sharp said the performance takes a look at definitions of women that are reflected in today’s media and society. 
       Dancers include Sharp, Karolena Belak and Michele Cudd, Hammond; Dianna Figueroa, Covington; Lesley Kernan, Prairieville, and Stacie Sabathe, Chalmette.
      Sharp presented a piece titled “Without Age” during last year’s Women’s History Month celebration. Women’s History Month, she said, “It is something I believe strongly in. I attended Mills College, an all-women’s private college in Oakland, Calif., for my graduate work.”
      For more information on this free performance, contact Sharp at 985-549-2184 or gsharp@selu.edu.
