State Hornet photographers Mia Matsudaira and Samantha Poulin documented Matt Talaugon, sophomore family and consumer science and dance major, during his journey from rehearsal to the showing of “Performance Mix,” a Sacramento State Choreography Collective production. The performances took place at Sacramento State Sept. 30 through Sunday at Solano Hall and incorporated modern dance styles. Talaugon has been dancing for four years and is looking to teach dance in the future.”I love to perform, but I have a passion for teaching,” Talaugon said. “I either hope to get into a professional dance company and in the future teach young adults in a studio.”The performance was choreographed by Sac State students and directed by professors Lorelei Bayne and Randee Paufve. The show also included a special performance from Gino Platina, dance artist and Sac State alumnus.
