With a PhD in Critical Dance Studies and a MFA in Experimental Choreography, both from the University of California Riverside, Dr. Schwadron brings a broad array of scholarly, creative research and teaching activities to Florida State.

THEATRE

Living in New York City, the desire to create her own work and surround herself with other like-minded artists was ever-present. It was that impulse that led to DreamCatcher Theatre, an artist driven theatre company that she co-founded with her brother.

FACILITY FOR ARTS RESEARCH
