Fall 2021 Dance Opportunity❗❗❗

For the Fall 2021 semester, the Tufts Dance Program is delighted to be hosting two choreographic commissions by guest artists, Geneviève Du Paul and Ian Berg, to be performed as part of our Fall 2021 Dance Concert in late November. Geneviève is planning to set a 6 minute excerpt of Vaslav Nijinsky’s original version of Sacre du Printemps (ballet/modern), Ian will be choreographing/setting a contemporary tap piece. Casting for these pieces will not happen until sometime during the second or third week of the fall semester. Rehearsal commitments will include approximately 10-14 rehearsals (including tech and dress), and 2 performances. Students who participate in these projects will have the option of registering for DNC 91.68 Dance Performance Practicum, a 2-credit pass/fail course. However, registration is not required to participate. For more information regarding these projects, please feel free to contact [email protected] We hope you find time to take advantage of these amazing guest artists and feed your inner dancer!
