DELving into Dance History: Common Ground: Exploring Choreographic Processes of Diverse Dance Artists

Alvin Ailey and Carmen de Lavallade of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in Lester Horton's Dedication to José Clemente Orozco. John Lindquist

Join Ann Biddle (Director of DEL at Jacob’s Pillow) and Felice Santorelli (DEL Facilitator) in this online workshop series highlighting the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Interactive site. Re-envision dance history as embodied inquiry using the extensive video and multimedia resources of the Jacob’s Pillow Archives. 

In this interactive workshop, we will select one of the Pillow interactive playlists and focus on common choreographic tools that different dance artists employ in their creative processes.

DELving into Dance History is an ongoing series and is designed for K-12 dance educators, and college dance history enthusiasts to enhance remote and in-person teaching. Each course investigates different dance artists through multiple contextual lenses in order to gain an holistic understanding of dance history.  Each course can be taken on its own.
