Carla Peterson of New York Live Arts [audio]

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carla Peterson, Artistic Director of New York Live Arts (the new merger of Dance Theater Workshop and the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company). 

In our conversation (see audio link below), Peterson addresses some concerns:

• What does this name change--which omits the word "dance"--mean for the New York dance community and audiences?

• What is the place of dance and dance artists in NYLA's broadening mission?

• How does Peterson see her role vis-à-vis Jones, NYLA's Executive Artistic Director?

Here's the mp3 link (21:15).
