The Bates College Spring Dance Concert features the thesis works Sunday of seven Bates dance majors at Schaeffer Theatre at 305 College St. in Lewiston. “Killing Justice,” choreographed by Bates student Ron Do, is a student dance piece depicting pantomimed guns and shooting. A notation in the program explains that the work depicts images of violence, so a two-minute break has been included before and after this performance to allow audience members to exit and later re-enter the theater, if they choose. Dancers Crystal Li, Tori Kusukawa, Annie Li, Ron Do, Jaewoo Kim, and Yuna Wu are shown performing the piece. Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
