Our 30th Year Anniversary!

We continue to celebrate Kierstyn Zaykoski’s 8 year anniversary with the New York Institute of Dance & Education! Congratulations Kierstyn!!

In this Black History Month, a different perspective. Here is Kierstyn’s tv appearance in her role as an Plantation owner’s daughter who now as a young woman, rejects the idea that one person could own another and in turn, “leave hanging from trees, the bodies of people she grew up thinking were her family”. This excerpt is the 3rd movement from the Sean McLeod’s “Strange Fruit”.

30th Year Celebrations! From the Archives: “Etude de Mouvement” the translation means “a study of movement”. This is an excerpt from that piece, and from a larger documentary. This epic repertory of McLeod Technique is “a review of emotional movement. Hate to love, love to hate, lonely to connection, connection to lonely, and acceptance of peace”.
