Dee Tomasetta is a Massachusetts native who received her BFA in Dance at the University of Michigan. She most recently was seen in the First National Tour of Finding Neverland playing the role of Peter Pan and Ensemble. Tomasetta is also the associate choreographer of the Broadway National Tour.

Each Modern Lab session features a different guest artist teaching a master class and sections from their repertory. This panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the students’ awareness of potential career possibilities. Each guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15 minutes, faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q & A with each artist, discussing their career; their recommendations for transitioning from student to professional, and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.

This event supported in part by the EXCEL Lab.
