Check out the most recent episode of SLC Transcript Review (link in bio) featuring Dahlia Shepherd ‘26 and Dance Program Director, John Jasperse ’85!
In this episode, Dahlia and John explore how dance at Sarah Lawrence connects creative practice with professional experience. Through the Open Performance program, Dahlia collaborated with visiting artists, gaining a behind-the-scenes view of how a dance company works. Alongside studying movement theory, creating choreography, and analyzing performance, she found a strong sense of community and purpose—culminating in what she describes as “seeing the birth of something,” bringing an original work to life from concept to performance.
