Welcome to First Drop!

Welcome to First Drop, a blogging project  documenting the work of dancers and choreographers as they prepare for the SummerDANZ Festival at Dance Theater Workshop this coming July.

Participating choreographers in the SummerDANZ Festival will share their experiences with First Drop as they develop their pieces from ideas into movement. Dancers in these pieces are asked to blog from their viewpoint, expressing their personal pathways to translate the choreographer's movement on one's own self.  All of this is amplified by photo and video collaborators, creating a multi-layered experience.

First Drop is more than appropriate as a title for this venture. This is the first blogging project for many of the choreographers and dancers in this project, and the performances in July will be the first SummerDANZ Festival. First Drop is also unique in its use of Tisch Alumni as its participants, which is also one of the first endeavors the newly formed Tisch East Alumni Council.

We hope you stayed tuned to First Drop as we share videos, photos and written posts along our journey to the SummerDANZ Festival!

The Tisch East Alumni Council exists to support the unique needs of Tisch Alumni in the arts and entertainment community, creating interdisciplinary and cross-generational relationships, and increasing alumni visibility by coordinating the talent, expertise, time and financial resources of East Coast alumni.
