Orchesis Modern Dance Company

As part of the Department of Theatre & Performance, the Orchesis Modern Dance Company has presented high-quality performances since 1941 at William & Mary and seeks to bring innovative and exciting concerts of student and faculty choreography to the community. Orchesis provides an opportunity for students to develop their performing skills, participate in the choreographic process, and contribute to concert production and company leadership.

By being a part of the company, more committed dancers at William & Mary have the opportunity to receive further education and participation in the art of movement, outside of the classroom. Orchesis is led by both Dance faculty and students officers, emphasizing the importance of communication and collaboration in the company. 

Orchesis Modern Dance Company performs in An Evening of Dance, a main stage show produced by the Department of Theatre & Performance each Spring.
