Episode #59: Ice Theatre of New York

SEPTEMBER 2012 The Ice Theatre of New York is a premiere ice dance company, that joins figure skating with traditional choreography and dance to create new forms and movements on ice. They also have quite an extensive outreach and education program for students and audiences. I spoke with Founder Moira North and Artistic Director Douglas Webster about how ITNY got started, what ITNY is doing that other ice shows are not, and about their upcoming October Gala honoring Richard Dwyer. 1 hour, 14 minutes [display_podcast] Win tickets to ITNY's Home Season Performances!
