Mackenzie's Summer at Gibney and DEL!

---

My name is Mackenzie Lawrence, and I am a UTeach Dance Major at the University of Texas at Austin (hook em). For Dance Action, I serve as co media coordinator alongside my babe, Addie Norman. I was born in Austin, TX and there are few things I love more than Trader Joe’s flowers.

This summer I am living in New York for two months! For the first month I am doing the Summer Study program at Gibney Dance. This means I get to take fifteen dance classes a week as well as attend performances and professional development panels and discussions. Next month I am attending the Dance Educator’s Laboratory where I’ll get to learn all about dance pedagogy from people who are much more experienced at teaching than me!

So far I am learning how to advocate for myself as an independent artist, how to allow myself to be seen, and that it’s important to see which direction the train is going before you get on it.
