Choreographer Daniel McCusker has nurtured a movement in the Cambridge dance community. Two of his students, Marcie Mitler and Eliza Mallouk, are producing Across the Ages Dance, and he has choreographed a piece for the group. He's committed to the idea that artists must contribute to their communities in order to sustain them, and it is clear that what goes around comes around in this intergenerational project. I met Daniel just as he was starting to work on his piece. Excerpts from an October interview appear here.
Concerned about the diminishing presence of arts in education? So am I. This blog will explore the value of adding art to the three R's. It's more than the money; it's humanity.

About Me
- AVE
- United States
- Deborah S. Greenhut, PhD, is a playwright, arts documentarian, and educator who began teaching in a one-room school house in rural New England during 1970. These days you can find me collaborating with urban educators and students, seeking new ways to make education artful. I have consulted on management skills and communication arts in 44 of the United States and 5 provinces in Canada. I believe that people learn more effectively through drama-assisted instruction, and I exploit the Internet to deliver it. The views expressed here are entirely mine and not those of any other institution or organization.
