What do some of today’s most compelling choreographers say about their work? Who – and what – has inspired them? What’s the place of collaboration in their practice? How do they view their lineage? What questions are they asking? What’s hard?
Right here: a substantive resource – the Herb Alpert Award website - filled with performance videos, exclusive interviews with choreographer-performers Nora Chipaumire, Michelle Dorrance, Susan Rethorst, Jess Curtis, and Julia Rhoads.

Julia Rhoads, HAAIA in Dance 2013
Nora Chipaumire, HAAIA in Dance 2012
Jess Curtis, HAAIA in Dance 2011
Susan Rethorst, HAAIA in Dance 2010
The site itself invites questions: How does one represent an artist’s work? What makes a good interview? How do you organize text, images and time-based documentation to create useful and compelling web pages?
How does receiving a $75,000 award affect an artist? Watch here.
