SeaMonkey Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 This might not be the best place to ask, as its a modern program, but I'm looking at the MA choreography program at Ohio State. Specifically, I want to research music and choreography. Last year, I choregraphed several movement phrases and then composed music to go with those phrases, rather than doing choreography with music that was already done. Does anyone know anything about the choreography program there or another school that would fit better with what I want to do? Quote Link to comment
Clara 76 Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Susan Hadley & John Giffen are quite talented and are on the faculty. Susan used to dance with Mark Morris, and she choreographed a ballet for us called Across The Field that was hysterically funny and witty. Here is a link I found: Meet Grad Students Here is a list of choreographers who've had residencies there: visiting artists 2005-2006 individuals scott delahunta ron estes larry keigwin nicole walcott elizabeth zimmer olga zitluhina visiting artists 2004-2005 companies Dayton Contemporary Dance Company Kristin Horrigan/Group Atness Barbara Thatcher & Company individual artists Annemari Autere Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen April Berry Suzan Bradford John Crawford Teena Custer Susan Dromisky Telly Fowler Travis Gatling Mark Haim Rennie Harris Christian Matjias Najiyyah Muqtasid Roger Myers Mila Parrish Daniel Roberts Jennifer Salk Marcia Siegel Bradley Sowash Stelarc Bruce Terry Doug Varone Jay Weitz via webcam Ain Gordon Phyllis Lamhut Ralph Lemon Tere O’Connor Susan Rethorst Laurie Uprichard Other than that, I have no personal experience with the program, other than the kids who are currently freshmen at OSU in the dance department. We frequently have grad students come to us to take our adult ballet classes I guess as a supplement? Hope that helps! Clara 76 Quote Link to comment
Guest arabesque07 Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 OSU has a choreography prgram? I saw that they did have a dance major but wasn't sure that choreography was emphasized. If so, that's something I'll definately have to consider even more... Quote Link to comment
dance7rlm Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 does OSU have ballet? or is it just modern? Quote Link to comment
Clara 76 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I know that they offer ballet classes, but I have no information as to whether or not they offer it as a major. I can say that they are known for their modern program. Quote Link to comment
diana13 Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Anyone have updated info on Ohio State? My daughter absolutely loved the school, audition, the faculty and the students. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
diana13 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Anyone with recent info? Quote Link to comment
Steffie Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Also interested in recent info on this program if anyone has any. Quote Link to comment
threegirlpileup Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Great program, but definitely modern focus. BFA dance majors take ballet 2x/week, though I have heard it is possible to supplement with additional outside classes. Quote Link to comment
Steffie Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Thank you! We are definitely looking for a modern focus but would also like ballet more than 2x per week. Quote Link to comment
threegirlpileup Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 My daughter actually crossed OSU off her list for that same reason--she wanted more ballet (not to train to be a ballet dancer, but as support for her training as a modern dancer). Thankfully, there are plenty of programs that do offer ballet 4-5x/week for their modern dancers. Quote Link to comment
