 We're glad to share this new video
for your viewing pleasure. Take a peek at a TWA rehearsal, and hear
what some of the dancers have to say to filmmaker Nathasha Lim. After a very busy January and February, TWA looks forward to spending some "quality time" at KOW in March! In early March, we'll be hard at work in an exciting choreographic residency with Chloe Arnold, funded by the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, so watch for that new piece in June. We'll also be participating in the DC Tap Fest, and of course the Tap Fest Concert ... so keep right on reading for more news on that ... (Photo © Enoch Chan 2009) |
