A Citizen Artist
February 3, 2016

Robin Becker Dance toured Vietnam with Into Sunlight.

In our February issue’s Higher Ed column, we hear about how Hofstra professor Robin Becker brought Into Sunlight, her evening-length work about war, to Vietnam.

“I tend to take on big topics,” says Becker. “I believe in an artist being relevant to their time. I heard Yo-Yo Ma describe himself as a ‘citizen artist.’ I love that phrase.”

Check out this excerpt from Into Sunlight.
