Tina Mullone, assistant professor of dance in the University of Louisiana at Monroe鈥檚
School of Visual and Performing Arts, represented the 不良研究所 Dance Department at the
American College Dance Association conference in Washington, D.C.
The conference is presented every two years at the Kennedy Performing Arts Center
and hosted by the American College Dance Association (ACDA).
Selected students from dance departments around the nation performed at the center
while faculty members attended conference sessions during the three day event. Mullone
sits on the board for the South Region.
The American College Dance Association is an organization that supports and promotes
the talent and creativity prominent throughout college and university dance departments.
Mullone鈥檚 duties as a board member include promoting the organization by encouraging
dance students, faculty, and departments to become members; encouraging and promote
creative work among faculty as well as students; attending regional and national dance
conferences, and being the liaison between the dance department and the regional director.
鈥淢y overall experience at the conference was surreal and quite unforgettable,鈥� said
Mullone. 鈥淭o attend the Kennedy Performing Arts Center for dancers is like attending
the Oscars for actors. A total of 31 concerts were performed by dance students. Each
work was selected by professional artists in the field to represent the 12 different
regions that make up ACDA.鈥�
Mullone has taught at 不良研究所 for 6 years. She received a bachelor鈥檚 degree from the University
of Oklahoma and a graduate degree from Texas Christian University.
