ATW Kicks Off 32nd Season Of WORKING IN THE THEATRE 11/7-14

The American Theatre Wing (Theodore S. Chapin, Chairman, Board of Directors; Howard Sherman, Executive Director) today announced that the 2010-2011 season of their "Working in the Theatre" series will kick off with The Vocabulary of Dance: Choreographers 2010.

A panel of choreographers - Christopher Gattelli, Liza Gennaro, Ken Roberson and Sergio Trujillo - will discuss their childhood and early adult life and how it influenced their start in dance; the amount of research they do for each show; how choreography enhances a performance; the relationship between choreographers and directors; how recent television programming has brought back an interest in dance, especially among young people; the difference between musical staging and choreography and preserving dance history for future audiences. The conversation is moderated by Theodore S. Chapin.

An acclaimed fixture on New York television and in the theatre community for more than 30 years, the American Theatre Wing's "Working in the Theatre" offers an unprecedented forum for the meeting of theatrical minds. The Vocabulary of Dance: Choreographers 2010 will premiere on CUNY-TV (Channel 75, Time Warner Cable in Manhattan) at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 7, 2010.
