Dance and Genomes
Liz Lerman
Sunday, 19 Feb 2006 at 4:00 pm – Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall, Music Building
Liz Lerman, founder and artistic director of the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange, was named a 2002 MacArthur Fellow by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. She is known for her pioneering work in choreography and community-building. A gifted teacher, choreographer and performer, her work has redefined where dance takes place and who can dance. Her commitment is both to the art of dance and to the human element in art- making. Her company includes men and women ranging in age from the 20s through the 60s, each of whom is fully immersed in all aspects of creation, performance and teaching. In towns and cities throughout the country, her workshops have inspired local people--from shipyard workers to clerics--to participate in shaping and performing new work.
