Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater
EVENT DETAILS
WITH GUESTS, CLAUDIA SCHREIER & LAUREN LOVETTE
Acclaimed choreographer, Claudia Schreier, returns to the Vail Dance Festival this year with a new work to music by Gonzalo Grau. Festival favorite, Lauren Lovette, joins Claudia with the ‘Conversations on Dance’ podcast to catch us up on her whirlwind last year as she shifted her focus from her career at New York City Ballet, to being named resident choreographer of Paul Taylor Dance Company. The pair will talk about their trajectory through summers in Vail, including Claudia’s origins at VDF as an intern, the work that we can expect to see from both of them onstage this year, and how they have charted their own paths to becoming distinguished choreographers.
Please note: ‘Conversations On Dance’ co-host, Rebecca King Ferraro, will be on maternity leave this summer. These live events will be hosted by Michael Sean Breeden with special guest hosts throughout the festival.
A limited number of tickets are sold to each LIVE recording of Conversations on Dance during the Vail Dance Festival. The episodes are released at a later date and listeners can enjoy them through any podcast app or listen online at conversationsondancepod.com.
