Summary
The 25th anniversary of The Yard, a dancers' colony in Chilmark, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard, is celebrated with a look at its past and present achievements. Its executive director, DiAnn Ray, gives an overview of its organizational structure, performances on- and off-island, audition process, and upcoming activities. Patricia Nanon, its founder and artistic director, describes her initial vision of the colony, the struggles of its early years, the expanding scope of its projects, and her vision of the future. Linda Tarnay, Tonya Lockyer, Nicholas Leichter, and Eun Me Ahn share their experiences at The Yard as choreographers and performers. Bessie Schönberg, renowned as a choreographic mentor, discusses the nature of modern dance, the importance of hard work, and the value of The Yard as a center for creativity. In addition to interviews, pre-recorded videos present views of The Yard's physical setting, and performance excerpts of works by Nicholas Leichter and Eun Me Ahn.
