Hey all -
A friend of mine is helping to organize this conference on dance in NYC at NYU. It is open to the public and there is a special panel on dance education. In addition, voice critic and dance historian Deborah Jowitt will give the keynote talk.

Perhaps I will see you there!

On January 31st 2009, graduate students from across the country are gathering at the first Dance Across the Board Conference to present their research on dance and body-based performance. The theme, "Impulses to Begin," will be explored through papers, performances, and lecture-demonstrations that address the various ways impulses may spur beginnings in practice, theory, and social movements. In this current climate of change, we are interested in examining the stimuli that spark desire for action and transformation.
