Initially conceived as a democratic artistic endeavour, RDT evolved under the leadership of Virginia Tanner, with support from the Rockefeller Foundation.

PART 2: ON TEACHING AND PEOPLE
By: Kara Komarnitsky
READ PART 1 HERE
Many graduates from college dance programs, myself included, end up teaching a lot more than they are performing or choreographing, but many more hours of my degree program were spent performing and choreographing than teaching. At one point Kay writes, “A teacher of technique has to have a real philosophy about what he is teaching to give a direction to his work.” Kay’s notes on teaching reflect her many years of experience and a depth of knowledge that are like treasures for someone who is trying to find their own philosoph ..read more

PART 1: ON CHOREOGRAPHY
By: Kara Komarnitsky
As an emerging freelance artist in Salt Lake, I find myself with a lot of questions and not many answers. Over the last two years, I’ve performed for companies throughout the valley, produced my own work, choreographed on student companies, traveled for artist residencies, and taught every age and style of dance that I know. I’ve found spaces to pursue my wildest dreams and community that celebrates my risk-taking tendencies. I’ve also worked in ticket offices, spent hours writing emails, designed marketing materials, and taught myself entirely new ..read more
