Missy Pfohl Smith has been appointed director of the Institute for the Performing Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Smith serves as director of the Program of Dance and Movement<\/a> at the URochester as well as artistic director of the modern dance company BIODANCE<\/a>. She received her MFA from Sarah Lawrence College. Smith succeeds John Covach, professor of music in the Department of Music<\/a> and director of the Institute for Popular Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The appointment, pending a Board of Trustees vote later this summer, is effective July 1 for a three-year term.<\/p>\n

The Institute for the Performing Arts was formed in 2015 to bring together the disciplines of music, theater, and dance into a collaborative venture. The institute serves as a center for performance programs on the River Campus as a way to further inspire students with or without prior training or experience to explore a variety of aesthetic art forms and opportunities. The institute works to increase collaboration and strengthen the relationships among the College, the Eastman School of Music<\/a>, and the Memorial Art Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
