Lecture

Join me on Monday evening to talk about performing as a nonbinary person - how my gender has shaped my work and vice versa. I'll be showing some excerpts from A Singular They, including the evolution of the oldest work in the show from 2014-present, during which time quite a lot of gender has happened to it. We'll talk about what it's like to choreograph through transition and to make choices in presentation as a nonbinary person in a distinctly binary world. 

Stargazing and astronomical inquiry guide the creation of movement in this evening workshop.

Vermont Dance Alliance welcomes Vermont based watershed thinker and environmental educator Trevien Stanger to lead an engaging exploration of “Watershed Thinking”— an embodied model of experiencing place. By weaving together geography/topography, deep ecology, water ethics, and eco-spirituality, we will explore what it means to identify with, and participate in, the health of our home watersheds.

Gain insights and easy-to-implement tips on getting your dance students effectively prepared for the collegiate dance experience.

Highlight “House Party” is virtual celebration for New Year’s Eve! To ring in 2021, the celebration will welcome hundreds of Vermont-grown performers to live-stream from their own stages at the new virtual festival grounds! Imagine entering this new space and journeying through hundreds of unique stages — watch a live concert, have tea with an artist, dance with an acrobat, take your kids to a make-your-own-art workshop, or tune in to a cooking class with an amateur chef (and yes, there will still be fireworks this year!). At this house party, you can do it all! It’s your house.

Dancers, parents, teachers, college counselors, high school counselors, and others are invited to attend this interactive presentation and discussion on how a degree in dance prepares students for employment and leadership in today's 21st Century creative (gig) economy. Cydney Spohn, Founder of Solutions In Motion, College and Career Consulting for Dancers, will lead the presentation and answer your questions and concerns about pursuing a dance degree in college.

Presented by the Vermont Dance Alliance and Next Stage Arts in collaboration with the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth, with support from the Vermont Arts Council, Open Door Integrative Wellness and the Vermont Creative Network/Chittenden County Zone!

These New England arts organizations are working together to create an interactive Mixed Medium Dance Symposium, open to all, online on November 14th & 15th. Join us for a weekend of events dedicated to Interaction, Adaptation, Engagement, Collaboration & Innovation.
