She describes the commencement of her professional career as dancer and choreographer with Staatsballett Berlin and her growing interest in choreography, which led to her resignation and the commencement of a career in freelance choreography. Donlon concludes with her growing interest in coaching and her plans and hopes for the future. Duration 00:42:30.
