Interview with Margot Greenlee

Dance Applied to Real Life

In this episode of DanceCast, Silva interviews Margot Greenlee, a choreographer, theater director and
artist educator based in Washington DC. Here, Margot discusses her involvement with Jacob’s Pillow’s
Curriculum in Motion® and her own project, BodyWise Dance, which provide dance classes and
workshops for individuals and groups in healthcare, education and corporate settings that offer
movement as a way of learning and processing information. She details one program of BodyWise
wherein dance and theater practitioners work with a group of people with intellectual disabilities to
create and perform an original show with the goal of using performance as an opportunity for community integration.
