VIDEO: Alexis Convento

Founder, Producing Director, and Lead Curator for The Current Sessions, sits down with DancePulp to talk about how the project based organization began, how it’s helping choreographers of our generation, and her own frustrations and goals as an art maker.

“I’ve learned on my own, which I think is good too. I liked kind of learning on my own; I thought it was important. So now if I take anyone working on the administrative side with me? I try to let them make their own mistakes, and kind of help them along the way”.
