The Dance Department of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts will present PAST/FORWARD 2012: A Tisch Dance Alumni Celebration highlighting the work of several generations of Tisch Dance Alumni choreographers.

“...the dance department of the Tisch School of the Arts is not a pedagogical cookie cutter turning out performers who are stylistic look-alikes. Each member...was a distinctive individual...yet they all move harmoniously together.” Jack Anderson, The New York Times

The event will feature works by Todd Allen, Sean Curran, Gierre Godley and Simone Sobers, Josh Palmer, Summation Dance, Jaclyn K. Walsh and Netta Yerushalmy. The featured alumni range from newly graduated, emerging choreographers who are just beginning their careers to established choreographers who are heading their own companies and presenting work both nationally and internationally.
