Many people may not know this about Nancy Boskoff, but 30 years ago, before she became an arts administrative fixture in Salt Lake, she was a modern dancer. She recounts a story of when she choreographed a piece in her previous life, before she moved to Utah.

“I was in the box with the tech crew for one of the rehearsals and one of the guys looked at me and asked, ‘What is this about?’ I told him it wasn’t about anything to which he replied, ‘It has to be about something.’ It turns out he and the rest of the guys on the crew made up a romantic story about the dance. It may not be what I had in mind, but I thought, ‘OK, that’s fine.’ If someone can experience art and take something from it that is meaningful to them, that’s what is important.”
