Check out Department of Theatre & Dance Chair, Hilary Harper-Wilcoxen's essay "Acting for the Dancer", as featured in the recent Antony Tudor Trust newsletter!

Harper-Wilcoxen is a wonderful speaker and writer, as anyone who has ever studied with her knows, and her work is peppered with colorful stories and strong imagery, not to mention great analysis.

"Acting for the Dancer", based on her work teaching dance at both Principia College and The American Academy of Dance in Paris, is a definite read!

Hilary Harper-Wilcoxen, Chair/Theater and Dance Department at Principia College, has spearheaded an interdisciplinary pilot dance program to be conducted by Tudor Répétiteurs Amanda McKerrow and John Gardner, December 27 to January 1.

The program will introduce master choreographer Antony Tudor into college and university dance programs through a series of master classes focusing on Tudor's masterpiece, Jardin aux Lilas. The experimental, interdisciplinary week will look at this classic ballet from the perspective of various arts' disciplines.

Plans are under way for a documentary to be part of the process.
