Our very own Professor Saleemah E. Knight had the pleasure of hosting Tony-award winning choreographer and jazz master teacher @ablankenbuehler in her “Broadway and Commercial Jazz” technique course. Blankenbuehler, choreographer of the highly acclaimed Broadway musicals @hamiltonmusical and “In the Heights”, led students through a two-part master class series, first engaging with our 1st and 2nd year BFA students, then embarking on a special master class experience with our 3rd and 4th year BFA students currently studying Broadway and commercial jazz under Professor Knight. Blankenbuehler offered a Q&A discussion with all four cohorts and led students through his remarkable process in developing choreography for “Hamilton”, from character development to the collaboration process.
In earlier semesters, the 3rd and 4th year students explore concert and contemporary jazz with Knight, along with vernacular jazz; Blankenbuehler’s arrival offered a chance for the students to integrate their studies and expand on their movement research. Professor Knight is a former featured cast member in Disney’s world-renowned @thelionking Broadway musical and has an extensive career as a hybrid concert and commercial dance artist, master teacher, dance researcher, and choreographer. Knight and Blankenbuehler are esteemed jazz dance experts. Both are featured on the award-winning HBO Max documentary, “Uprooted: The Journey of Jazz Dance” (directed by Khadifa Wong). Knight serves as one of the film’s main historians, offering her expertise on the history of jazz dance and its roots in Black dance practices, as well as insights from her original master’s thesis examining the contributions of Black vernacular dances to contemporary ballet and the “invisibilization” of bodies of color within these forms.

So lucky to have known and worked with the legendary Ann Reinking. I’ll never forget stretching on the floor with her in the aisle during tech for #Fosse. Like so many other times, her words touched me, changed me and forever inspired me to be a better artist…and a man who would always reach for more. She was a true dance icon. #annreinking

Yesterday, we lost our dear friend and collaborator Howell Binkley. His work with light and color was simply inspired. Everything I could think to bring to the stage, was then taken by him, held up, and brought to shine in a way I could only dream about. Amazing artist. Better man.
"Moments of pure brilliance by Howell Binkley, forever engrained into my soul."
Hamilton: Satisfied, rewind, enough said
Heights: 96K, final slow mo front light cue going into the button
Hamilton: Ham beginning to sing Hurricane, with the lights on the floor closing in around him.
Hamilton: Burr beginning to sing Room, with the boxes of light opening up around him.
Heights: Finale (and opening) slow mo circle, “there’s a breeze off the Hudson"
Hamilton: My Shot…the first time I saw “I imagine death”…
Heights Blackout: the dancers wrenched in pain around Mr. Rosario as he sings “please find Nina”
Hamilton: Obedient Servant, the box opening around Burr going into “I wanna be in the room where it happens"
Hamilton: Room, ‘click boom’
FLY: Tracking, the line of light following the pirates downstage on the attack
Heights Blackout: the red world of danger as Abuela and Usnavi try to protect the money
Hamilton: One Last Time, the upstage to downstage avenue of light fades up exactly as Ham and GW step into it. They pass each other.
Heights: pretty much every second of Blackout. How do you even light a Blackout?Hamilton: Finale, the color of “orphanage”
Hamilton: Finale, the color of “orphanage"
Deep cut…I was an audience member for this one…the last cue of the first act of Kiss of Spiderwoman, as the house lights bump on, clutching my heart. 💔
