In a satisfying artistic twist, the students are due to perform Serenade later in the spring, as part of a gala event commemorating the centenary of Balanchine's birth. Having lived and worked in a building inspired by the piece, the students will extend this lyrical fusion of dance and architecture through the act of performance. C. S.
