You have put in a lot of work and passion to complete your degrees.  This is a real accomplishment for each of you. We’re especially impressed with the way in which you bent your academic work toward understanding the challenges of destructive conflict, studying nonviolent alternatives, and envisioning a world without exploitation or war. You will no doubt, in your own ways, continue to help us reach these goals.

Stay in touch and best wishes with your next endeavors!

Alumna Kathryn Speer 08 in Philadelphia

my Generation is a dance landscape created in collaboration with several dancers and coordinated by Kate Speer ’08 at Mascher Space Cooperative in Philadelphia.

Speer states “Building community, whether with dancers in the studio, between the audience and the performer, or within neighborhoods, is an important aspect of my work. my Generation is my second project to be performed
for Moffet Elementary School, a public school located directly across the street from our studio, Mascher Space Coop.”

Last year, grades K-2nd saw performances of The Walrus and the Camel and participated in workshops that played with improvisation and imagination exercises.

In this high speed, plugged in lifestyle, information overload is in full effect. my Generation creates a physical experience of saturation though high velocity and momentum that comes from the gut and extends beyond the reaches of the hand.

Prepare to be swept up in its vortex.

Featuring Christina Gesualdi, Emily Herchenroether, Lisa Rothstein, Carly Sinn, and Zornitsa Stoyanova
