U-M Alum Austin Selden received his BFA from U-M. He has recently performed with Artichoke Dance Company, Chavasse Dance & Performance, and Megan Kendzior. He currently creates/presents dances and video works with his collaborator, Sarah Konner. He has danced with NYC Shen Wei Dance Arts since 2011. Class for students runs from 12:10-2 PM. Public welcome to observe the class. Each session features a different guest artist who teaches a master class and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. In the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects.
