School of Humanities, Fine and Performing Arts presents
THE BEAUTY OF ... DANCE: BUILDING COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION THROUGH MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES
The beauty of movement, seeing and embodying action, is what brings most students to the dance. But as one deepens and hones one's craft, those initial inspirational roots begin to spread, branching out into interdisciplinary explorations. Professors of Dance at Hofstra University, active artists and pedagogues, will share how they manifest the beauty of dance into their craft and their teaching through finding connection and building community. They will share how their work interacts with multiple platforms and populations of people from virtual to in-person, and community centers to college classrooms.
Panelists:
- Caroline Copeland, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Dept. of Drama and Dance
Hogarth’s “The Line of Beauty:” A Story of Discovery and Connection
- Kristen Lee, Adjunct Assistant Professor and Dance Program Coordinator, Dept. of Drama and Dance
