Interview with Eric Kupers
Experimentation and Inclusivity
In this episode of DanceCast, Silva interviews Eric Kupers, a director, choreographer and performer in the Bay Area. He is the co-director of Dandelion Dancetheater and director of Bandelion (the interdisciplinary ensemble within the company). Eric discusses his experimental approach to dance-making, the creative significance of inclusivity (both in terms of different bodies as well as different artistic genres), his intro to performance through folk dance at his public elementary school and why exposure to dance is imperative in education, and his development of an inclusive dance program at Cal State University East Bay.
