Broadway Choreographer Chet Walker
To Work With USD’s ‘Cabaret’
VERMILLION — The University of
South Dakota Department of Theatre’s 2018 Spring musical “Cabaret”
will be choreographed by the veteran
Broadway director and choreographer Chet Walker.
“We are excited and blessed to
have an artist the caliber of Chet
Walker working with our students.
Walker’s creative scholarship is inspiring, relevant, and exciting. He will
provide our students with unique,
powerful, and significant learning opportunities while he is in residence,”
said Associate Professor of Theatre
Patricia Downey, who was instrumental in bringing the acclaimed artist
back to USD after his first stint as a
guest artist in 2014.
Walker’s residency spans 10 days
in the Department of Theatre, during which time he will choreograph
eight dances for “Cabaret,” conduct
dance workshops, and lecture about
legendary jazz choreographer and
performer Jack Cole.
“Cabaret” director Joe Stollenwerk
said he is thrilled at the prospect of
working with the renowned artist.
“I saw his choreography in “Pippin” three years ago and was blown
away. I think it really speaks to the
quality of the theatre program that
we have such a talented and indemand artist returning to work with
our students again,” Stollenwerk said.
Walker has garnered acclaim onstage in theaters across the globe, as

BE HEARD
well as on screen and other media.
Walker originally conceived the
show “Fosse,” which won the 1999
Tony Award for Best Musical. In 2013
he received the Outer Critics Circle
Award, the Drama Desk Award, the
Astaire Award and a Tony nomination for his choreography of Stephen
Schwartz’s “Pippin.” The show
garnered 10 Tony nominations, winning four, including Best Revival of a
musical.
His work as a director and choreographer has taken him around the
world, including London, Amsterdam,
Mexico City, Madrid, Japan, Argentina, Israel, Brazil, Serbia and many
