we are trying to appeal to a
large variety of people,” Rosenblad said
The production is done with a new ap-
proach in art form, Rosenblad said.
Three large screens will surround the
audience to create an unusual effect, he
said.
“Realize the Dawn," by Walsh, is a
three-part piece combining dance, film
and tape.
"The film used in this piece is hand-
made by scratching through the emul-

"The show is appealing to many and
is only slightly avant-garde," Rosenblad
said.
