Writing on Dance
with Eva Yaa Asantewaa
Tuesdays, 5:30pm - 7:30pm, September 4 – October 9
at Dance Theater Workshop

By application only
Fee: $110 Dance Theater Workshop members / $130 non-members

Description: As a participant in this writing salon guided by Eva Yaa Asantewaa, of the InfiniteBody dance blog, you will share supportive space for deepening your engagement with dance and performance. You will discover ways to enhance your perception, receptivity and empathy so that your dialogue with the art witnessed will become in itself a gift of art. While developing confidence in your ability to describe and evaluate what you have seen, you will also find the courage to redefine writing about dance and performance as a personal act of human response with room for questioning, passion, humor, anger, wisdom and transformation. All are welcome, experienced and prospective arts journalists as well as anyone interested in exploring the power of dance and writing.

To apply, submit a one-page letter (350 word maximum) via email to Richert Schnorr (richert@dtw.org) by July 16, 2007 detailing why you want to take this course. Please place the letter in the body of the email and include all of your contact information.
