Ms. Britt was a featured dancer in Quiet Home, by Greggory Dolbashian of The DASH Ensemble; “S/he’s never been anything but herself;” by Morris; and a self-choreographed solo, Evident To The Eye, (excerpt in video). Ms. Britt’s performance in CUL.TI.VATE’s Winter Showcase was masterful in all three works.
Ms. Britt also served as Assistant to the Choreographer for my Morris’ commissioned work on the school’s advanced level dancers, as part of her mentorship award.
Sa’Nah is a talented dancer, with superb technical skill and artistry and a great teaching artist and choreographer. Ms. Britt brings an exceptional level of care and maturity in working with dancers in the creative process, while remaining gracious, humble, beautiful and kind.
The Winter Showcase also featured choreography by Sa’Nah, alongside Morris, for advanced level dancers.
I A.M. Arts 2022/2023 Mentorship/Coaching program is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
