Kathy Forbes
Secretary for Department of Dance
Kathy Forbes (Division of Performing Arts, Secretary for Dance) came to the Univ
ersity of Iowa Department of Dance from the UI College of Law in the Spring of 1997 and has adjusted nicely to the world of dancers. While she is not "officially" a dancer herself, she is familiar with the world of the performing arts as she was a member of the Iowa Hawkeye Marching Band and Iowa Pep Band while earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication Studies at the University of Iowa in 1992.
In February of 1999, she earned her moment in the dance spotlight by performing before a crowd of 200 people at Space/Place Theater in the premiere of Sara Semonis' Graduate Concert piece entitled Rocky Mountain Low. In April, 2000, Kathy and her husband Glen served as special guests in Simone Linhares Ferro's thesis entitled Private Club Above All Suspicions, where they cut up the stage dancing the Fox Trot with three other celebrity couples. In November, 2000, she was one of six dancers involved in the choreography of Emeritus Associate Professor Helen Chadima for Musick's Feast, a madrigal renaissance benefit concert inspired to alleviate hunger in the Iowa City community.
It is believed that Kathy has officially caught the performing bug and continues to resonate with the rhythmic vibrations on the ceiling of her office!
