"I am delighted to be returning to Centenary College to teach a master class this summer. Sharing my art and process in educational and community settings is an integral part of my professional life. I began my teaching career at Centenary College in 1980 and it was an extraordinary time and place for me to grow. I return with gratitude, great memories and the promise of greater collaborations to come, including a CDDC performance at Centenary in March 2012 and more." —Carolyn Dorfman
