Barbara Mahler is a long-standing and active member of the New York City dance community as a choreographer, performer and teacher. Her choreography draws upon the intricate and inf inite possibilities of the textures of time, space and the (her) body to create dances, which subtly reveal characters, emotions and stories. It is spare and articulate, emotional, evocative, and moving. Her choreography is consistent with her teaching vision and work, exploring the endless possibilities that the body can reveal. Barbara teaches (almost) daily class, and has since 1983, as a master teacher of Klein Technique. She creates dances and is a certified teacher and practitioner of Zero Balancing, a hands on healing modality.
