Founded in 1951 the Erick Hawkins Dance Company has been touring the world
since the 1960’s.
Hawkins choreography currently is based on a collaboration of music, art, and dance. His
dances are performed to live music often composed especially for each dance
along with commissioned sets by artists and sculptors. The artistic director is Katherine Duke who began studying with her in 1983. Before coming into this position she was a principle dancer for many years under Hawkins' Company. They currently perform on the Rhinebeck Stage in New York. They also have intensives that anyone can audition to be a part of.
I didn't know Erick Hawkins had his own dance company, which had the tour performance worldwide. Great dancers and choreographers are all good at combining many art forms and elements, as well as collaborating with other excellent artists.
