Medici Scholar Sasha Schick attended a professional dance intensive in Dallas, Texas, this summer, thanks to support from the College of Fine Arts Medici Circle.

Schick, a fourth-year BFA dance student, spent the month of July taking class, learning company repertoire, rehearsing, and performing at “SoulEscape,” a professional contemporary dance company. The intensive emphasized connecting the mind and body in movement.

“The month I spent with SoulEscape remains the most meaningful experience of my life,” she said. “I was immersed in an incredibly supportive community that nurtured honesty, encouraged risk-taking, and inspired growth in every moment.”

Medici Circle support allows talented artists like Schick to extend their studies beyond the classroom in pursuits outside the university.

“I could never have had this incredible opportunity without the support of my donor, Wesley Green. Your generosity has made such a profound impact on my life, and the experiences I had will stay with me forever. I am deeply grateful for your belief in me and for giving me the chance to grow, create, and pursue my passion in ways I could only dream of. Thank you so much for making this possible.”
