About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!: The Department of Dance at the Ohio State University is a community of diverse individuals trained on a common nexus of inquiry, the rich and complex phenomenon of dance. We are a faculty of eighteen, supported by a dedicated and knowledgeable staff, adjunct educators, guest artists and visiting scholars. We are a group of approximately 125 undergraduates, pursuing studies that lead to a BFA in Dance, and a group of approximately 35 graduate students pursuing the MA or MFA degree.

We are more than 1500 elective students, some of whom are also declared dance minors. Significantly, our interactions spill into and out of these neat divisions, with mergers between undergraduate and graduate classes and performances, as well as multiple alliances between graduate and faculty research interests. The organization of the department tends to be democratic rather than hierarchical, with committees of faculty and students working in concert to make recommendations for the department as a whole. We view the breadth of our program as both appropriate to the academic setting and as responsible practice, educating students in a comprehensive way within the lively discourse of a major research university, and providing multipleavenues toward future careers within an evolving field.

At the heart of the OSU Dance experience is the notion of embodied scholarship, embracing the intertwining areas of physical practice, creative activity and theoretical inquiry. We invest our time, energy, expertise and resources in studies of performance and composition, history, production, Laban studies, dance and technology, dance documentation, theory and analysis; and we extend ourselves into collaborations with other disciplines, from music and theatre to women's studies and creative writing, as well as into the larger communities around us. We view and continually seek to renew our place as an active forefront in the field, nurturing links to the professional world and fostering those connections for ourselves and our students.

We are writers of books and makers of dances; passionate learners and dedicated teachers; we are performers and leaders; advocates and innovators; nurturers and creators and investigators. We are Dance at the Ohio State University. Come and see what we have to offer!
