Sharon Mansur (theatre and dance) is Assistant Professor of dance and this is her second year as an East Coast transplant enjoying her new Mississippi River locale. Born on the cusp of Pieces and Aires, her nickname growing up was “Tuna” because of her love of water. She integrates river connections into her dance classes from the physical attributes and sensorial experience of the river, as well as through visual art inspiration via the Winona’s Minnesota Marine Art Museum. She can be reached at smansur@winona.edu. See her work at www.mansurdance.com.
