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.

Copies of Dancing Fulbrighters: 60 years of dance exchanges on the New Zealand Fulbright programme are available from the Fulbright New Zealand office for NZ$5.00 each (plus postage). Contact the office for information about how to order.

"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)
