She shares dance critic/historian Lynne Garafola’s belief that dance is “a conversation… between the spectator and the artist,” and that critics help mediate this conversation. A scholar of American literature and culture, Melissa is the author of American Lit Remixed: Music in Twenty-First-Century American Literature (Lexington Books, 2021). She writes about the arts for Broad Street Review and about film for Moviejawn.
