Lenfest Center for the Arts, Columbia University, 615 West 129th Street, New York

Event Description 

This conversation will explore the relationship of movement to the brain. How is thought movement and movement thought? How do we understand the nature of the particular movement and training that is dance? Where is such memory stored in the body and how does it affect those who pursue such a path? What function does dance serve in our personal and collective lives? And, finally, where did the idea to devote a decade to writing about the life and work of Balanchine come from and how did it evolve?
