Vail Dance Festival 2024

Assistant Stage Manager | Summer 2024 | Vail, CO

Production Stage Managed by Betsy Ayer | Artistic Director Damian Woetzel

Between my third and fourth semesters of grad school at SMU Guildhall, I had the chance to return to Vail Dance Festival for a third year to continue ASMing the mainstage performances! With a brand new program every night featuring some of the best dancers across the world, this is a challenging but rewarding festival. What makes it truly special, however, is seeing so many familiar faces year after year. In some ways, the festival is the ultimate exercise in staying in the moment as you never know if you will be able to return the next year. What a gift this festival is.
