Through a series of interviews during my editorship in 2024 at The Dance Enthusiast in NYC, I collected testimonies from pioneers and contemporary creators in Dance Theater. I researched the training and choreographic methodologies in Dance Theater, bridging the gap between dance and theater training as well as the lineage of European and American dance theater and its current expressions.
As a Latina choreographer for the last 35 years, my own evolution from classical ballet to modern dance to dance theater has prepared me to understand this interplay.
