Rising sophomore Kaitlyn Duska sits with her sign and other students during the “Last Stand Jam” in front of the University of the Arts Dorrance Hamilton Hall on South Broad Street on June 7.has been thrown a lifeline from Bennington College, the small liberal arts school in Bennington, Vt., which will take over at least one part of the defunct school: UArts’ well-regarded dance program.
“We’re going to evolve it as we go, but our intention is to take this on,” said Walker. “We are investing in a person and a faculty, and a program that’s going to have a life and have roots in Philadelphia.”with the University of the Arts. A Temple spokesperson on Friday did not address that question or answer a question about the status of exploratory talks.
Bennington already offers dance classes, but the UArts dance program is not being absorbed by the dance department there. The two programs will exist side by side, each with a different focus. Bennington students “create their own path through varied disciplines, of which dance could be a part,” said Burchfield. Students enrolled in the new Bennington-UArts dance program “are studio-based artists who have their minds focused on being professional dance artists,” she said.
Burchfield said a potential role for Temple University never came up in her quest to salvage the UArts dance program.
