This small, closely mentored community of inquiry meets in the intentional space that each cohort of experienced artists forges together. It provides MFA candidates with time to evaluate and re-direct their career pathways and roles in the fields of dance and dance studies. Through a wide-ranging program of pedagogy, philosophy, research practices, history, studio practice and public performances/presentations, the MFA remains rooted in a process-oriented mission.

While in the MFA program, each of the artists on the program have taught, are teaching and/or have set works on students in a variety of genres. They represent the wide-reaching belief across the Hunter College Dance Department: that dance is a vehicle for the kind of radical root work needed to change dominant paradigms in the world.

The afternoon includes works by Kathryn Alter(‘21), Francesca Dominguez(’22), Darvejon Jones(’23), and Cory “Supernova” Villegas/Soul Dance Co(’24).
