September Art and Dance Seminars and Speaking Programs

I'm speaking at two programs in September: First up, I'm conducting two Internet workshops at the NYS Arts Summit 2009 in Schenectady, New York from September 22nd-23rd. The first workshop is a nuts-and-bolts introduction to Facebook and Twitter. And the second workshop will offer a strategic overview of Facebook and Twitter with examples of how arts organizations are using these tools. Both sessions are hands-on and participants are encouraged to bring their computers and connect via Wi-Fi. Then, on September 29th, I'll be on a Movement Research Panel: "Towards an Adjudication Model for Dance Criticism," here in Manhattan. If you can make it to one or both of the programs, please let me know.

Not a Patriarch, but a Leader All the Same

“At a time when many choreographers are distancing themselves from dance as the central focus of their work and instead placing themselves in a broader context of conceptually driven live art and multimedia projects, Mr. O’Connor’s work remains rigorously movement-focused. Rejecting set vocabularies and abstract trappings, he uses dance and the craft of making dances [...]

Milka Djordjevich on the Balkan Dance Platform

“My overwhelming feeling when leaving the Balkan Dance Platform was one of surprise and excitement about the works coming from the Balkans. Of course the works presented were not representative of the whole scene, but I was impressed by the diversity and differing approaches to making work: The opening performance of BDP was Madalina Dan’s Dedublarea.
