What Students Say

“Other summer workshops teach just repertory…I like that this workshop taught the composition skills used by the company. It means that the workshop is more than just a week of intensive training–it gives me skills to take away and use in my own practice as a dancer and choreographer and performance maker.” -2012 Summer Workshop Participant

“What I didn’t expect was the depth of the work–spiritually, personally, creatively–and I dearly appreciated and valued that. I also did not necessarily expect the phenomenal pedagogical examples from the teachers that reaffirmed for me how the performing arts, when taught with a depth of compassion and respect, can transform our lives and those of our students.” -2012 Summer Workshop Participant

“The faculty was superb. The fact that we got a lot of “face time” with Joe was great! Every class was extremely well planned and executed. I learned a lot pedagogically as well as practically.” -2012 Summer Workshop Participant

“An intense week of discovering your creative process. Be ready to dance, write, sing, and build great relationships with your fellow participants.” –Summer 2010 Workshop Participant
