Catherine Inzirillo, MFA

Adjunct Dance Professor

Inzirillo

Artists are lifelong students of their craft. For dancers, our craft revolves around an ever changing and adapting instrument: the body. In my classes, I teach in regards to nurturing, exploring, and fully utilizing the body not only in the framework of codified techniques, but also in celebration of each student’s individuality.
