Choreography Grant
Diane Lachtrupp is Awarded Artist Grant by
Saratoga Program for the Arts Funding (SPAF) to
Choreograph New Work
Diane
Lachtrrupp, choreographer and co-founder/director of
Tango Fusion Dance Company, was awarded a
$2,500 SPAF Artist Grant (SPAF), part of the
Decentralization regrant program of NYSCA, for
choreography. Five new period ballroom dances will be
created and performed, reflecting the dances (polka, waltz,
tango, quadrille, etc.) and the residents and visitors in
Saratoga Springs during the late 19th
to
early 20th
century. During
the presentation, audience members will be invited to learn
a dance and assist in creating a new piece of choreography.
Ms. Lachtrupp states, “I am grateful that the Saratoga
County Arts Council and NYSCA awarded this grant to me. It
will provide me with the opportunity and luxury to
experiment, develop and create without pulling together a
full-scale production. At a later date, the work created
will be a catalyst for a full-length performance piece. For
a long time I have envisioned a full-length theatrical
dance show set in a place like Saratoga Springs.”
Ms. Lachtrupp has been a choreographer for over 20 years
and her work has been performed in the United States,
Argentina and Europe. For further information, contact
Diane Lachtrupp at (718) 360-6447.
This
program is made possible in part with funds from the
Saratoga Program for Arts Funding (SPAF) part of the
Decentralization regrant program of the New York State
Council on the Arts (NYSCA), administered by the Saratoga
County Arts Council.
