Spring Dance Concert Live Stream

Not able to make it to Tufts for tonight's final performance of the Dance Program's end-of-semester concert but still want to see some student dance films? Well, you're in luck! As part of the Spring Arts Festival at Tufts, tonight's concert will be live streamed—a first for the Dance Program! The show starts at 7:00 (with the live stream becoming available 5-15 minutes beforehand), and the films are the first thing in the program after a brief introduction by Daniel McCusker and Renata Celichowska. (However, the remainder of the concert, which showcases the work of a lot of talented student dancers and choreographers, is definitely worth sticking around for.)

For more information on how to tune into tonight's live stream, click here! Or better yet, come see it in person tonight at 7:00pm in the Jackson Dance Lab at 50 Talbot Ave, Medford, MA—tickets are only $5.

Dance on Camera

Dance on Camera is a Tufts University course designed for any dancer, artist, or student interested in film and video production with dance or movement as a medium. Through storyboarding, shooting, editing, choreographing, and directing, students will learn basic video production techniques and advanced camera work.

The Spring 2015 version of the course is being supported by a Tufts Innovates! grant, which will aid us in our goal of creating two professional level projects for submission into various national and international film festivals by providing us with the resources to purchase high-quality digital cameras and other video-making equipment, to take a class trip to NYC for the 2015 Dance on Camera Film Festival, to organize an on-campus dancefilm screening, to learn from guest artists in the field of videodance, and more.

This semester, the course is being taught by Jaclyn Waguespack with assistance from Cassie Burns.

Dance at Tufts

At Tufts, dance is a well-established and vibrant part of the academic, cultural, and community life on campus that includes the Dance Program in the Department of Drama and Dance, and the many and varied extracurricular student dance groups across the university.

The dance program exposes students to the rich history of the discipline and current practices in the field within a fully integrated vision for liberal arts education. Students access the program as new-to-dance practitioners; as members of cultural arts studies programs; or as committed dancers in the field. All have the option of working toward Minor Degrees in Dance. For students who enter the program with advanced training, we offer the opportunity to study dance within the context of a liberal arts program (differing in its focus from more technically-oriented conservatory programs). While we do offer a number of advanced technique course options, our program focuses on creative process, modern dance, and non-western dance forms, all of which involve a balance of both experientially and academically rigorous course work.
