Residencies
In the Spring of 2008, through the assistance of Tessie Varthas at the Office of Language, Culture & the Arts at the School District of Philadelphia, JRD company member and Instructor, Janet Pilla, met with Simon Gratz High School dance director Mikki Stephens, and arranged for a ten-session, in-school residency at Gratz
Ms. Pilla instructed 20 ninth, tenth and eleventh graders in the Limon Technique and the sessions culminated in a presentation by the students, as well as final research papers.
We thank PNC Bank and Board Member, Jefferson Green. We are very excited and working very hard but we couldn't do this without their generous funding and support. Thank you from all of us!
