Choreography Jessica Anthony

An MFA Thesis concert at Space/Place Theatre

"The Lyric I was created out of and in response to Jessica Anthony's experience of taking eight undergraduate dancers to facilitate a nine-week dance workshop to girls at the Iowa Juvenile Home and collaborating with them to create and perform a dance there.  Seven of the ten dancers performing in The Lyric I she co-facilitated the dance workshop at IJH and contributed their written and danced reflections to the process of creating this dance." - Quote from the Obermann Graduate Institute website
