Modern Dance

For the last three years, Ann Carlson has been a guest artist at Stanford University and is an extraordinarily celebrated and recognized artist. She graduated from the University of Utah (BFA Modern Dance ’76), and has gone on to win two American Masters Awards and a USA Artist Award among others. She was recently invited by the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation to be in residence next year on Captiva Island, Florida. Carlson's award-winning work defies description and category while expanding the context of choreography and performance. Her work has been seen in theaters, galleries, museums, concert halls, biological preservers, swimming pools and landscapes throughout the world.
