Dancing
Fulbrighters
In
another publication to mark Fulbright New Zealand’s
60th anniversary, Fulbright alumna Jennifer Shennan
has written a booklet documenting the exchange experiences
of 15 New Zealand and American grantees in the field
of dance, including dancers, choreographers, educators,
researchers and critics.
"In
this delightful booklet, with photographs to bring
the text to life, Jennifer has produced a little jewel
that tells some of the dance history of our country...
International exchanges in dance are so important
- they reinforce a sense of family, and add worth
to all our endeavours." - Sir Jon Trimmer,
Royal New Zealand Ballet (Fulbright alumnus)
Printed copies of Dancing Fulbrighters: 60 years
of dance exchanges on the New Zealand Fulbright programme
are available from the Fulbright New Zealand office
