Olivia Colflesh ’26

For me, my favorite Orchesis memories are all the tech weeks I’ve been a part of, especially the last two years when I got to experience them as a choreographer. The tech weeks can be long, but I love how, during tech week, you can really see the show come together — from separate pieces to a fully formed production and community. I can’t imagine my Allegheny experience without Orchesis. It has not only provided me with an artistic outlet but has also helped me believe in myself, my dance ability, and encouraged me to help others do the same.
