STUDENT PERFORMANCE GROUPS

All of the organizations in this section are completely student initiated and run. They reflect the diverse community of talents and interest at “K” College.

Asian-American Theatre Festival
The Asian Student Association usually presents a celebration of Asian-American culture every year during Asia Week. The group presents dance, music, skits, and slide shows which reflects Asian culture and experience.

The group is closely affiliated with ASA (Asian Student Association), which is advised by Dr. Les Tung, Chair of the Music Department. Please contact ASA for further information.

C.A.T. (Cultural Awareness Troupe)
This is a performance group that is part of the BSO (Black Student Organization). The performance often celebrates a part of African American culture. It involves dance, music, stories, drums, and skits. Much of the material is student written and compiled.

The group often performs in the middle of winter quarter in the Dalton Theatre. Most of the performers are students (members of BSO), but the performance has often featured members of the community and guest artists. It is a powerful multicultural event that gives voice to black students on campus.

Frelon Dance Company
The group was started by students who wanted to continue with the dancing they had done before coming to college. They meet weekly for classes taught by different members of the group to learn different styles of dance. Their most recent performance contained 20 numbers with over 100 dancers. They have a unique style, blending hip-hop, modern, funk, lyrical, pointe, jazz, and swing.

The group ensures that everyone, regardless of dance experience, can dance at “K.” Anyone can join the company (even WMU and “K” alumni have danced with them). However, it is important to be part of the entire rehearsal process throughout the year. Signs are posted on campus when meetings, rehearsals, and workshops are held.

Monkapult
This improvisational theatre group began in the spring of 1996 when members of the Improvisation class decided they wanted to continue developing improv skills and performing in front of an audience. Some of the original members include: Jeff Patterson (K’97), Matt Priest (K’97), Kris Schaffner (K’97), and Julius Moore (K’96).

The group often performs two shows a quarter. They allow students to practice their improv skills, often donating the profits of its very popular shows to local charities.

Monkapult rehearses two-three times a week throughout the quarter. Students interested in joining the group can contact current members, or attend the mandatory first meeting of the quarter for more information regarding auditioning. Members are encouraged to have taken Improvisation or Fundamentals of Acting.
