American Studies Faculty and Staff

"I am interested in creative process, composition, and performance, dance cultures, and interdisciplinary studies. I have taught both applied and theoretical courses and created performances for twenty-five years in liberal arts settings such as Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, and Tufts. I have also produced and choreographed experimental dance in New York, Philadelphia and Boston in the seventies and eighties. I trained and worked with The Graham School, Cunningham Studio, Luigi's, Leon Collins Studio, Richard Bull, and Nancy Stark Smith. Performed with Richard Bull's New York Chamber Dance Group, The Mosaic Dance Group of Philadelphia, and in musical theatre summer stock. I was a past member of the American Dance Guild Board of Directors, directed the ADG national conference in 1988, and also presented at NDA and other national conferences. My writing has appeared in various periodicals.
