Empowering Movement: Sarah Lisette Chiesa and the Women’s March

April 20, 2024

Sarah Lisette Chiesa, an Assistant Professor here at the School of Dance, has been pursuing her research on her philosophies surrounding “The Energetic Residue of the Moving Body Left in Space.”  her courses in modern technique, at both 200 and 300 levels, emphasizes heavily this concept .  Inside her research as an interdisciplinary artist, Sarah created a Women’s March that encompassed the power and importance of the collective energetic presence of women through an embodied durational walk. The group was given one improvisational task, to support and to be supported by each other.  One of our long-standing board members Nina Trasoff, attended the March and described her expereince,  ” as we progressed down the mall I found the intention behind the movement grow … and it became quite emotional for me towards the end … the mutual support that even relative strangers can provide.
