PATRICK CORBIN
Patrick Corbin was born and raised in Potomac,
Maryland where he began his dance training at a very
young age. As a young student he studied at the
Washington School of Ballet and was an apprentice
with the Washington Ballet where he dancdd in works
by Choo San Goh. In 1983 Mr. Corbin moved to
New York City to study at the School of American
Ballet and in 1984 joined ABT II. In 1985 he joined
the Joffrey Ballet. There he was introduced to the
choreography of Jiri Kylian, William Forsythe, Mark
Morris, Frederick Ashton, Laura Dean, Leonide
Massine, Vaslav Nijinsky, Pilobolus, and the great
Paul Taylor. In 1989 he joined the Paul Taylor Dance
Company where he became one of its most celebrated artists. Mr. Corbin has been
featured in five PBS Great Performances between 1988 and 2004, including the
1998 Academy Award nominated documentary Dancemaker. In 2001 he was the
recipient of the New York Performance Award (Bessie) for Sustained
Achievement with the Paul Taylor Dance Company. March 2005 marked his
retirement from dancing with the Taylor Company. He has since danced with Lar
Lubovitch Dance Company in the critically acclaimed, “Men’s Stories”. Mr.
Corbin stages his own work as well as the work of Paul Taylor on companies
through out the United States. He founded his own company, CorbinDances, in
2003, about which Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times wrote, "Patrick Corbin
is a fabulous dancer... There is a welcome physical power and desperate edge to
his choreography that comes from his own eclectic
impulses...moving...exhilarating." And Lisa Jo Sagolla of Backstage wrote, "In a
smart and gracefully constructed evening of four mysterious dances Patrick Corbin
made a glorious debut as a serious choreographer.
KT NIEHOFF
KT Niehoff is a Seattle based artist who makes
events, dances, music, films, classes and spaces and
fosters creative communities. She is a 2012-2013
MAP Fund recipient for a project set to launch in
June 2012, episodically unfolding over 16 months in
multiple Seattle locations. Her major platform is
Lingo Productions, the container for her creative
works in all forms. Lingo Productions expands and
contracts as needed, but centers around reoccurring
collaborators who have been instrumental in Lingo’s
vision.
Since 2006 her interest has been audience/artist/art
proximity, which has led her off the stage. Inhabit
(2007) and Glimmer (2010) used spaces where the
audience was free to roam amongst the performance.
The 1-to-1 Solo Project (2010) created tailor-made
solos for 30 individuals, performed for them in public spaces. The You and Me
Series (2010) embedded dancers throughout the Seattle Art Museum for five hour
stretches. The Lift (2008) pushed passers by up the hill from Seattle’s Pike Place
Market to 1st Avenue for a month. Her first dance film, Parts Don’t Work, will be
screened as a part of the San Francisco Dance Film Festival later this month.
Lingo Productions has been presented and commissioned by venues throughout
the U.S. including ACT Theatre Seattle, On the Boards (Seattle), The Joyce SoHo
(NY), Alverno Presents (Milwaukee), SUSHI (San Diego), The Southern Theater
(Minneapolis), as well as dozens of universities. She has received support from
major funders such as the National Endowment for the Arts, The National Dance
Project, The National Performance Network and Arts International.
Most recent guest teaching credits include Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival’s
contemporary professional program, Texas Christian University, Texas Woman’s
University, Cornish College of the Arts, Seattle Festival of Improvisation,
Velocity Dance Center’s Strictly Seattle and Western Washington University.
From 1996-‘06 KT started and ran Velocity Dance Center in Seattle. In 2003 she
created SCUBA, Touring Dance Alliance with Velocity, ODC (San Francisco),
Southern Theater (Minneapolis) and Philadelphia Dance Project. Thanks to the
next generation of dedicated staff, both Velocity and SCUBA are still running
strong today.
THOMAS F. DEFRANTZ
Thomas F. DeFrantz is Professor of Dance and
African American Studies at Duke University. He
is the director of SLIPPAGE: Performance,
Culture, Technology, a research group that
explores emerging technology in live
performance applications, in residence at Duke
University. His books include the edited volume

American Dance (2002) and Dancing Revelations
Alvin Ailey's Embodiment of African American
Culture (2004). A director and writer, his
creative works include Queer Theory! An
Academic Travesty commissioned by the Theater
Offensive of Boston and the Flynn Center for the Arts. In 2005 he worked with
DonnaFaye Burchfield to design the American Dance Festival/Hollins University
MFA Program in dance. He has worked as a dramaturg for Donald Byrd, and
assistant to Louis Johnson and Honi Coles. He performed the "Morton Gould Tap
Concerto" with the Boston Pops conducted by Keith Lockhart and the "Duke
Ellington Tap Concerto (David Danced)" with the Aardvark Jazz Orchestra
conducted by Mark Harvey. DeFrantz served on the boards for the Society of
Dance History Scholars, as Book Editor for the Dance Critics Association, and
organized the dance history program at the Alvin Ailey School in New York for
many years. A globally-circulating academic and artist, he has taught at NYU,
Stanford, Hampshire College, MIT, and Yale; has presented his research by
invitation in Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India,
Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, and Sweden; and
performed in Botswana, France, India, and South Africa. He co-convenes the
working group Black Performance Theory as well as the international group
Choreography and Corporeality, and recently convened an event "Dance
Technology and the Circulation of the Social v. 2.0" at MIT. He is currently
President of the Society of Dance History Scholars. Professor DeFrantz is always
interested in stories, how we tell them, and what we think they might mean.
