KUSC’s Sheila Tepper talked to USC Kaufman’s vice dean and director, Jodie Gates, for the Arts Alive blog.

“As the school’s first director, Gates was given unprecedented responsibility for implementing the artistic vision and creating a dance curriculum and faculty from the ground up. The resulting curriculum called The New Movement is a new hybrid model for dance,” noted KUSC.
