The third piece in this mix is my dance performance life. The rehearsal and performance world fills my soul. The Program is designed to create, on the Mount Vernon campus, a stimulating community of women interested in the various arts disciplines. This interdisciplinary program explores the synergies among the theater, dance, music, fine arts, interior and graphic design fields. Issues confronting women involved in the creative process today are examined through dialogue with invited guest artists, museum and performance field trips, and text readings.
Students also have the opportunity to work on creative projects.
Program courses fulfill fine arts general curriculum requirements and are also prerequisites for some majors. The Arts Yearbook for the 1999-2000 class of Women in the Arts was created by Shannon Conrad and Karen Neckyfarow, with photos by Lisa Chalk and Karen Neckyfarow. The Yearbook consists of a short student biography, photo, and memory page of each student. There are also group photos and captions that explain various activities we engaged in over the 1999-2000 academic year. This is a 41 page document.
