Schedules are flexible, people are accessible.
For the same reason, there are wonderful opportunities for collaboration between theater, music and dance faculty and students. Students have been producing extremely high-caliber concerts, featuring their own choreographic efforts. Dana maintains a prolific level of creative activity, turning out a steady stream of new dance performances, both at the College and in the southern Vermont community. In addition to her work at Marlboro, Dana founded and served as artistic director and choreographer for the Coincidance dance company. She currently teaches at the Brattleboro School of Dance and performs with Zia Dance.
