The most ephemeral of the art forms, dance is a mode of expression that lasts for a fleeting second. Yet as Claudia Schreier explores in this talk, the process of collaboration and revision through which a dance is choreographed is rewarding and eternal in value. Alongside two ballet dancers from the American Ballet Theatre, Schreier challenges her audience to use the tenets of choreography to rethink their own relationships. Choreographer Claudia Schreier has been commissioned by organizations including Vail Dance Festival, New York Choreographic Institute, and Joffrey Winning Works and has upcoming premieres for Ballet Hispánico at VDF and Dance Theatre of Harlem. Ms. Schreier is the Artistic Director of Claudia Schreier & Company, which since 2015 has presented full-evening performances of her choreography featuring dancers from New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre and other leading companies, and collaborations with award-winning composers and musicians. The Company made its Joyce Theater debut at the 2017 Ballet Festival. Ms. Schreier serves as Ballet Master and Rehearsal/Production Associate to Damian Woetzel and has contributed to programs at Jazz at Lincoln Center, New York City Center, Vail Dance Festival, and the White House, as well as the 2017 Kennedy Center Honors tribute to Carmen de Lavallade. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
