New Year’s Resolutions from Industry Leaders
“I think one of the most important things in one’s professional and personal life is not being afraid to take risks. If you’re afraid to fail, you’ll never achieve your goals - Mark Stuart
By Chelsea Thomas of Dance Informa.
Those who make goals are usually those who reach their dreams. Without goals and measurable success, how can we really tell how effectively we are moving toward achieving our dreams?
With this in mind, do you have a New Year’s resolution? Do you typically make goals for yourself at the start of a new year, in the hope of becoming a better dancer, choreographer or teacher? If not, perhaps this is the year to start! It’s a fresh new beginning after all.
Here, Dance Informa spoke to both up-and-coming dancers and renowned artists about their 2014 New Year’s resolutions. Even the industry’s most renowned dance artists set new goals for the New Year.
Kate Hutter
Artistic Director, L.A. Contemporary Dance Company
“My resolution is to find balance between my administrative, artistic and personal life pursuits, and find the same veracity, determination and passion I have when creating dance for when I am developing new opportunities for the company and leading the organization and board towards our future goals… since in the long run, one supports the other. I also want to take some time to reflect on the accomplishments of the company and the amazing artists I get to work with each day, and celebrate that before pushing forward into the new year. There are so many wonderful and deeply inspiring things happening in our craft nationally and internationally, and we need to sometimes take time to acknowledge the achievements of ourselves and others to remind ourselves that this is an exciting time and we need to keep making, teaching and sharing this incredible work.”
Kate Hutter is a graduate of the University of Southern California with a BFA in Theatrical Design and a MFA in Dance/Choreography from Purchase College, SUNY. She has won awards from the USC School of Theatre for Outstanding Choreography in 2001-2004, as well as the Stanley Musgrove Award and the James and Nony Doolittle Award for her unique contributions in the theatre. Her work has also been nominated for two Lester Horton Awards for “Best Small Ensemble.” Kate continues to create new works for her L.A. Contemporary Dance Company as well as choreograph for theater productions and commercials, and teach at the Brockus Project Space in downtown L.A.
