The New York Times ran an article earlier this week “What Does ‘Post-Emerging’ Look Like in Today’s Dance Landscape?,” which highlighted the latest edition of New York Live Arts’ Fresh Tracks. Fresh Tracks will feature works by choreographers who will join a long, star-studded roster of past participants that includes contemporary dance trailblazers like Department of Dance professor Tere O’Connor, who showed his first-ever work at Fresh Tracks in 1984 and sees the program as “a guiding hand” in a “financially dire” moment. O’Connor spoke about the challenges of maintaining an active career. He shared “It’s really easy to make a big impact with your first work, but then to keep it going — second, third, fourth — it’s a rough terrain. It’s good to have help with it.”
