The green monster: Dealing with the Ego in Professional Dance

Jaslyn Reader

In the in-between…how to survive between dance contracts

Lauren O'Sullivan

Van Legakis, Unity Space and this summer’s “Interdisciplinary Festival of Embodiment” East Point West

Maddy Wright

The festival truly is interdisciplinary in that classes involving painting, dance on film and massage are also offered in the program schedule.

Each artist in the performance project series will be sharing their individually developed processes: Anton Lachky with Puzzle Work, Edivaldo Ernesto with Depth Movement, Judith Sanchez Ruiz with Your Own God, Inaki Azpillaga with Powerful and Fragile and finally Vangelis Legakis with Embodied Unity.
