A phrase that you will hear me say often is “Where we come from matters.” How can we possibly progress in dance education, research and study without a sound understanding of techniques, styles, aesthetics and the people who influenced these movements? At Dance Education Canada, we have had the privilege of interviewing dance historians, scholars, researchers, choreographers and educators who have committed their lives to the study of dance. We’ve interviewed people who’ve danced with Graham and rubbed shoulders with Cunningham, so today's guest should be no surprise.
GUEST: A widely respected former member of the Limón Dance Company for more than a decade, Puleio was appointed only the sixth Artistic Director in the Company’s 74-year history, a position that originated with Doris Humphrey. After a diverse performing career with the Limón Dance Company, touring national and international musical theatre productions, television and film, he received his Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Irvine. His research focuses on contextualizing mid-20th-century dance for the contemporary artist and audience. He is committed to implementing that research by celebrating José Limón's historical legacy and reimagining his intention and vision to reflect the rapidly shifting 21st-century landscape.
