In the winter of 2008, I was working with Olsi Gjeci on a dance that would develop into my senior project. Tomorrow night, I will begin the journey of revisiting this material with a new cast for my #transmissions project, launching in 2019. #dance #choreography #archive #dancearchive #mwestdances #statenislanddanceproject #sidanceproject #statenislanddance #huntercollegedance https://www.instagram.com/p/BqyHbqzgbph/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16k2vvdj8m6tp

Long Table - Against Forgetting at Gibney Dance Center

An important long table on dance and the archive. 

Known as the most ephemeral art, dance is also intellectual thought, labor and creative achievement. How do we honor the legacy of dance, its pioneers and innovators? How do we tell the deeper stor(ies) of dance? Who does (or does not) get to shape and tell these stories? How do we preserve the record of dance as a touchstone for future artists and communities?

Host: Eva Yaa Asantewaa Core Participants: Arlene Yu, Jill Williams, Paloma McGregor and Margit Edwards

This event was presented as part of Gibney's Center Line series in September 2018.
