Screendance collaboration with Professor Sara Hook and Betsy Brandt (MFA' 12)
Dramaturg Betsy Brandt and choreographer/performer Sara Hook have worked together on numerous projects, including “Janes" (2019), "Bored House Guests” with Paul Matteson (2014), and "Erstwhiles and Somnambulations" with Elizabeth Johnson (2017). Brandt is a new Associate Teaching Professor at Dance at Illinois and is an active member of the interdisciplinary arts community. Hook and Brandt share a keen attentiveness to dance history, a proclivity towards disciplinary promiscuity, and an interest in the relationships between gender, sensuality, sexuality, and technique.
