Rose Eichenbaum captures dancers on film

This October 2005 presentation at SUNY Brockport included numerous projected images from Masters of Movement: Portraits of America's Great Choreographers, Eichenbaum's recently published collection of interviews with some of this country's most noted dance artists. In this work, Eichenbaum asks where the impulse to create originates. The result is a book that the New York Times said "[opens] windows onto the soul of dance."

Dr. Maura Keefe, assistant professor of dance at SUNY Brockport, conducted the interview with Eichenbaum.
