Pam Tanowitz is quick-witted and rigorous. The New York-based choreographer and collaborator has steadily delineated her own dance language through decades of research and creation.

And now, the world’s most respected companies—The Martha Graham Dance Company, The Royal Ballet, New York City Ballet, among others—are proudly integrating Tanowitz’s poetic universe into their repertories.
