“My Dance Week”: Life in Higher Ed

The "My Dance Week" column challenges artists to write out, or sketch out, a week in their world – teaching, commuting, rehearsing, training, family time, and down time. Over the past several years 8 artists have been highlighted who work in higher education, whether full-time or part-time. Their posts are shared again today.
