Dance Composition with Guest Artist Ali Kenner Brodsky

Ali Kenner Brodsky makes gesturally rich and emotionally driven dance-theater works and dance films that ask the viewer to indulge in a world of reflection, remembering, and connection. Ali returns to the SSU campus this semester to offer a dance composition workshop, exploring how to make a dance. All are welcome.
