Joy Bollinger ’02, artistic director of Bruce Wood Dance, choreographed Four Cello Suite for TCU’s School for Classical & Contemporary Dance during her spring 2022 residency. Featured were, from front to back, junior ballet and modern dance major Erin Banks and ballet majors Janet Nguyen ’22, Aubrie Rosenkoetter ’22 and senior Isabella Ginter.

Bollinger set the work, which she called “a simple statement on the elegance of sound and the intrinsic expression of movement,” to four dances from Bach’s “Cello Suite No. 2 in D Minor.” A collaboration with the School of Music, Four Cello Suite also featured four student cellists, each performing from one corner of the stage. “You’re not only reaching toward the goal of accomplishing the physical and emotional aspects of a dance, but you’re affected by the music in real time and adjusting accordingly,” she said. “I was very proud of the dancers.”
