All Fours

Funded by the National College Choreography Initiative and the OSU Dance Preservation Fund, All Fours' project design included directing and performing Mark Morris’ first work recorded in Labanotation; developing curriculum for area teachers; and creating a company experience for the performers through technique, rehearsals, and historical context. Morris joined us in the spring of 2006 to see his first notated work restaged from a Labanotation score, and to coach the students.
