Lessons Learned: Is Art Making at the center of our practice?

July 14 - Breakout Session

Dance makers of our generation have been called upon to create hybridist practice in work and life to sustain themselves and their work.  A combination of research, choreographing, rehearsing, teaching, producing and administration has become recognized as the artist’s way in America.  Led by dance  artists Melanie Stewart and Molly Shanahan and arts consultant Bill Moskin, this panel examines lessons learned from the experience of the last 40 years operating within the 501-c-3 model and new operating models/structures that are emerging for choreographers and dance makers today.
