Master Class
About this performance
Our first-ever video Master Class with Seattle dance-makers Zoe Scofield and Dani Tirrell. This class explores the rich similarities and differences between these two choreographers making work in Seattle. A dancer’s “Behind the Actors Studio”, this class invites viewers into the conversation where Dani and Zoe discuss dance philosophies, teaching methodologies, their love-hate relationship to ballet, and strong feelings about unison.
This project made possible with support from Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, 4 Culture, and the University of Washington's Department of Dance.
Made in partnership with Reel Grrls Pro.
