Currie Leggoe and the Graduating Class of the School of Dance: the Chair Series
Subject
Painted wooden chairs
Description
Wooden Chairs painted by Currie Leggoe and signed by the graduating class of that year for the School of Dance. Collection creator Emma Edy Morris is featured on the 2024 chair, and has connections to 2011 chair signer Gwen Petry, who will host her as an intern for Dizon Inc. in the spring semester. Recently, in November of 2023, an anniversary show celebrating the 90/60/20 milestones of Dance on campus, the Degree being created, and the founding of the Maggie Allessee National Center for Choreography. At this show, alumni could be found searching for their names, as all chair created in Currie Leggoe, costumer for the School of Dance, were on display. It was a special time, and now that she's retiring, this collection acts as a time capsule for all of her wonderful years here.
