"Tides" by choreogprapher John Jasperse '85 has been counted among The New York Times' "Best Dance of 2025, So Far".
In the April 28 edition of “Critic’s Notebook” in The New York Times, Brian Seibert called the La Mama Moves! premiere of “Tides” “one of the most engrossing dance works” he’s seen this year. Among its performers, “Tides” featured Maria Fleischman ’23 and Jace Weyant ’22, former students of Jasperse, who has been the director of the Sarah Lawrence Dance program since 2016. Seibert noted in particular how Jasperse’s “compositional skill and artistry channel the talents of these exceptional performers into the special sorcery of contemporary dance.”
