Oakland University Founded in 1959, Oakland University (OU) includes the promotion of arts as part of its mission. The Meadow Brook Music Festival, the Meadow Brook Theatre and the Meadow Brook Art Gallery all call OU’s campus home and each exemplify the university’s investment in the arts. As a Professor of Dance, Laurie Eisenhower is on faculty at Oakland University’s Department of Music, Theatre and Dance (MTD) and has partnered with the university since the inception of EDE in 1991. EDE rehearses at OU throughout the season and also performs annually on the MTD Professional Artist Series at Varner Recital Hall. Dance students at OU especially benefit from the relationship. EDE’s company class has doubled as a university course for advanced dance students and OU’s Repertory Dance Company, a pre-professional student dance company, is often given the opportunity to perform as guest dancers with EDE. In addition, selected students are invited to apprentice with EDE. |
