Episode Synopsis "Pursuing Graduate Studies Abroad at Trinity Laban with Katie Burks"

In Episode 6, Artist Arena Podcast Host Angelica DeLashmette Hurst interviews one of her long time dance artist friends, Katie Burks, about her experience receiving her MFA degree in choreography abroad in London. As it turns out, the definition of concert dance is very different from how we understand it here in America once you cross the Atlantic Ocean. We talk about Katie's brief time in New York City and why she left - we think its time to debunk the often held assumption that moving to the city that never sleeps is a right of passage for every dancer! We talk about making the decision to get a Master's degree in dance, what you should research and consider before applying to a graduate program, and we share some laughs and memories along the way!
