The project will also involve Belgian dancer and colleague Petra Vermeersch, who Alissa has collaborated with on both music and dance compositions since 2000, the most recent being "Landing 1" an evening length concert at "The Small House for Radical Art" presented in Gent this past January. Performances will premiere at the Kyoto Art Center August 2, 3 and in Tokyo at the Setagaya Public Theatre August 7 -10."

 

 Anna Drozdowski has received a Fulbright Award to do research in Denmark for the next academic year.  She will conduct an ethnographic study at the Royal Danish Ballet and try to locate links between the Bournonville and Balanchine performance and training techniques.  She is very excited to have this funding opportunity and can happily say that the encouragement of several Hemi Peru participants led her to apply.  Thanks Bob!
