Knox Dance Program Hosts Synapse Dance Residency
Pictured above: The Jeremy Linberg Dance Residency (first photo) and the Ashley Tate Dance Residency (second photo) were two recent dance residencies at Knox.
The Synapse Arts Residency celebrates the Knox College Dance Program's new home within the Center for Fine Arts, where the program moved in the spring of 2017. Today, there are two dance studio spaces in the building, with a third space set to open in the spring of 2018. The dance program includes coursework in dance technique, theory, history, composition, and performance. Their mission is to encourage the development of an artistic practice that promotes the critical exchange of interdisciplinary ideas in a collaborative, artistic environment.
The Synapse Arts residency is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency through federal funds provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. Other support for the project comes from: Terpsichore Dance Collective, Knox College Dance Program, Karil Kirk-Ortner Memorial Dance Fund, Knox College Cultural Event Committee and Student Co-Curricular Fund.
