Mary Anthony: Artistic Director and Choreographer

Miss Anthony began her career with a dance scholarship with Hanya Holm in the early 1940's, eventually joining the Holm Company, concertizing with Joseph Gifford, and appearing in Broadway shows. Her staging of the London production of Touch and Go, in which she danced one of the lead roles, resulted in a long association as a choreographer for Italian musical theatre. Miss Anthony is recognized as one of the leaders of the modern dance movement, as a dancer, a choreographer, and as an exceptional teacher. The Mary Anthony Dance Theatre began life in 1956 and has a repertory that includes works by Anna Sokolow, Lester Horton, Charles Weidman, Ross Parkes, Daniel Malony, and Bertam Ross. An international choreographer, Miss Anthony's works have been added to the repertories of the Pennsylvania Ballet, the Bat-Dor Company of Israel, the Dublin City Ballet, and the National Institute for the Arts of Taiwan. Miss Anthony continues to teach at her studio and at the Herbert Berghof Studio for Actors.
