A new show (Dec. 5-8) and two brand new graduate programs in the dance department at Saint Mary’s College in Moraga promise release. For the eight seniors presenting their work at the annual fall concert, “Horizons,” four years of study and reflection will burst forth in the form of choreography. Professor Catherine Marie Davalos, also the school’s director of dance, says themes of survival and struggle braid themselves into the student pieces’ classic stories of good and evil and of free will and fate. Lighter fare, in Jenny Glosser’s “Tap That,” and Christina Nelson’s yet-to-be-titled childlike exploration of adult situations, expands the evening’s emotional range. A dance by Martha Claire Pile, faculty member Jia Wu’s, “Broken Windows, Damaged Hinges” and Kelsey Peterson’s “From the Dust,” will be on the program and will represent SMC at next April’s American College Dance Festival Association’s West Region Conference in Arizona.

As in the book, we first meet Ferdinand when he’s a wee calf on a farm, where he discovers early that smelling flowers in the pasture beats butting heads with the other young’uns, who mock him and long to prove themselves in the bullring. Still, he never wavers. After his father fails to return from a bullfight, a grieving Ferdinand runs away from the farm. Nina (Lily Day), a little girl, finds him and takes him home to her father’s farm as a pet. There, Ferdinand grows into an enormous, happy fellow. One day, he follows Nina into town for a festival, gets stung by a bee and reacts wildly. Terrified, the townsfolk lasso him and send him back to the farm where he was born.
