ASDC taught ten technique classes, a public choreography workshop, and rehearsed daily with students. A core element of the ASDC’s creative process depends upon working with collaborators. Guiding them through a rigorous interview process, ASDC collects stories and harvests gestures and movements. All the while, gathering inspiration from pop culture, current politics, art and feminist histories. The ASDC and students of the Purdue University Division of Dance collaborated on a presentation of “The Animal Corridor” (as a work in progress).
