Faculty: Artist Residencies

Each semester, renowned guest artist faculty are invited to ASU from the US and abroad, to work with graduate and undergraduate students. Some of these residencies revolve around the creation or reconstruction of a work while others focus on long-term teaching appointments, community programs, or research projects. In addition to their specific work while on campus, all guest artist faculty offer opportunities to a large number of Herberger Institute School of Dance students through master classes and Dance Matters presentations.

In the past, the School of Dance has enjoyed working with a distinguished group of artists, teachers and choreographers including:

Anna Sokolow
