The UNL Dance Division received a National College Choreography Initiative award from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the guest residency of Bill Hastings last year to restage the work of three musicals by the legendary Bob Fosse.     Dance students perform works by Bob Fosse at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in June. UNL was one of 35 universities to receive NCCI funding and one of 14 schools nationwide that received a second award from the NCCI in this second round of funding. In 2001, Professor Lisa Fusillo, who is the head of the dance division, won a NCCI award to restage the works of Charles Weidman. Through the NCCI, which began in 2000, colleges and universities nationwide unite professional dancers with college students to restage classic American dances or create new works. Fosse was a legendary Broadway director and choreographer. He staged multiple Broadway blockbusters including Sweet Charity (1966), Pippin (1972), Chicago (1975) and Dancin' (1978). He won eight Tony Awards during his career and in 1973 received an Academy Award, a Tony and an Emmy, making him the only director to win all three major industry prizes in a single year. He died of a heart attack in 1987. Hastings, who is widely known in musical theater, was in residence at UNL for several weeks in fall 2003. He worked with UNL dance students to restage the choreography of three Fosse pieces: "Steam Heat" from The Pajama Game (1954), "Dancin' Man" (Fosse's tribute to Fred Astaire) from Dancin' and "Rich Man's Frug" from Sweet Charity. In June, UNL was one of eight dance programs selected to participate in the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts' "Celebration of College and University Dance" at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Sixteen UNL dance majors performed three Fosse works.
