Choreographers’ Forum
Co-sponsored by The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the fourth annual Choreographer’s Forum will be held on Wednesday, March 19, 2008, at 6:30 p.m. in the MFAH’s Brown Auditorium, Caroline Wiess Law Building. This free event highlights the creative process of making dance and is a wonderful opportunity to understand some of the work being presented at Dance Salad Festival from the choreographers’ perspective.
