Right after the beginning of my 22nd year of life rolls around at the end of August, I am so thrilled to have just found out that I will be starting a very exciting year with a Dance Theater Workshop Van Lier Fellowship!!! A version of their Outer/Space Creative Residency Program, which gives choreographers access to studio space in the outer Boroughs of NYC, among other things, the Van Lier Fellowship is designed for new college grads of DTW's partner colleges. With a Programming internship at DTW, 100 hours of studio time, a grant/stipend, and an amazing mentorship opportunity with an NYC choreographer in my future, year 22 is sounding ridiculously better than it's cracked up to be. Having become a fully legal adult has definitely lost its glimmer in comparison.
Thank you so much to the Barnard Dance Department and Mary Cochran for making me eligible for this program, and to the board at DTW who selected me and my project proposal for this opportunity! Looking so forward to learning a ton about arts administration and to exploring repetition and silence as results of trauma and past experiences, in terms of both movement and language. Check out DTW's website and an article about the Fellowship from when it began last year.
