Ethan Barbee

My choreography training began at the University of South Florida with the completion of a four semester-long choreography series focusing on solo-work, group-work, videography, site specific, and text use. During the Semester in Paris Spring 2016 program, I worked with choreographers Maurice Causey, Nathalie Pubellier, Christine Gérard, and Nadine Beaulieu to create one-minute choreography projects. I was also chosen to travel to Brussels, Belgium to attend the P.A.R.T.S. final week-long audition process. I have created, as the culminating projects for the BFA in Dance Performance and Choreography, a group piece and a solo with the dance students at USF under the guidance of Bliss Kohlmyer and Andee Scott. Revolving around the intersection between the arts and the academics, my work has been presented at Midwest RADfest in Kalamazoo, MI, the University of Tampa, and Talking Bodies: Choreographer’s Fest presented by the Collective Soles Arts Group.
