Department of Theatre & Dance - Montclair State University

The Earl Mosley Institute of the Arts uses dance to create a community of young men with Hearts of Men, a dance workshop made of men of all ages and backgrounds.

Here, choreographer, Heidi Latsky, brings us Soliloquy, a film created from the poetic interweaving of ten movement portraits, which embrace difference and the inherent isolation of being human with fierceness and frankness. The film addresses our propensity to judge people by their physical appearance and defies our preconceptions about dance, revealing virtuosity and beauty in unexpected ways. This is the first of three films being produced by Dance for Film on Location at Montclair State University, a partnership between forward thinking choreographers and filmmakers, which purposes to increase access to dance in the 21st Century.

Montclair State University is proud to announce an innovative new low-residency MFA in Dance. Designed for mid-career dance artists, teachers and other dance professionals in transition, this program targets those who are interested in thinking about the future of the dance field and the shape of the discipline of dance. It provides experienced professionals the knowledge and credentials needed to expand their careers, including teaching dance in higher education, thus giving them the resources to become innovative contributors to their fields and future students. The curriculum is specifically designed for working artists who are interested in examining, expanding, and enhancing their artistic worldview. The program will commence June 2016, and for more information please visit: www.montclair.edu/mfa-dance.
