Dr. Marianne Schultz on Tempo Dance Festival:
“I have been involved in Tempo primarily as a performer; in Old Yeller shows, Prime Cuts, Orchids and in 'revisiting' with text and film clips Merchants of Venus (myself, Debra McCulloch, Felicity Molloy and Shona McCullagh) in 2010, twenty years after our performances. Also in forum discussions on Dance Writing and showing a historical documentary on the New Dance Group which was based on my research.
I loved returning to the stage in 2017 with Orchids and the Foster Group.
I loved watching Shine Lady by Anne Dewey and Spinning Sun in 2011 and Josie and Kosta's Dance show in 2016. Both so inspiring in totally different ways.”
