Dance Residency Awarded to Neighborhood School

June 1980

Historical June 1980 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Dancer Ruby Streate has been dancing with the children at Neighborhood School, 6195 Washington, during the month of May.

Her twelve hour residency involving children age 3 thru 12 was funded under a Missouri Art Council mini grant. Ruby Streate is a Catherine Dunham trained dancer.

Her work established the fun and valuable discipline of dancing, while involving all of the children at Neighborhood School.

This mini-residency in dance was related to a dance-as-sculpture experience structured by artist in residence Susan Sante.

The students worked on sculpture, visited the museum, attended the performance in April of Pilobolus at Kiel Opera House, and screened a film on the Paul Taylor Dance company.
