John Jasperse, one of the most important dance artists working today, is set to remount his groundbreaking FORT BLOSSOM at Bryn Mawr College this winter. Jasperse revisits the work, which reveals the body in all its controversial facets. The company will be in residence the week prior to the performances. The schedule of activities is open to the public and includes a symposium with visiting scholars, an open rehearsal and several master classes. The Swarthmore Master Class will take place on Monday, February 20th, 2012 at 4:30PM in the Troy Dance Lab (see below).
