ABOUT THE FACILITATORS
Choreographer/performer Deborah Hay began her career in the early 1960’s with the Judson Dance Theatre. In her five decades at the vanguard of choreographic experimentation, she has helped re-define the field of dance with her revolutionary work and influential books, Lamb at the Altar, 1991, Duke University Press, and My Body, the Buddhist, 2001, and Using the Sky, 2019, Wesleyan University Press. She is one of the 21 American performing artists to receive the inaugural and groundbreaking 2012 Doris Duke Artist Award. May 5, 2015 France’s Minister of Culture and Communication awarded Hay the title of CHEVALIER DE L’ORDRE DES ARTS ET DES LETTRES. Tanz Im August 2019 presented RE-Perspective covering Hay’s work from 1968 to the present and in 2021/22 Mercat de les Flor in Barcelona presented a retrospective of her work.
Jeanine Durning is an Alpert Award winning choreographer and performer whose work has been described by The New Yorker as having both “the potential for philosophical revelation and theatrical disaster.” She has been investigating the mobilizing and mutable force of bodies, grappling with their conditions in time, space, and place for over 25 years through experiments in choreography, performance, practice-based research, teaching, and mentoring. Jeanine’s
ongoing project, nonstopping, has been the foundation for her performance research since 2009, manifesting in many ways and contexts since. Durning has had the privilege to collaborate with many choreographers over the years, who have shaped her outlook on performance, including Deborah Hay, with whom she’s worked since 2005.
