Excerpts – “When she Stumbles” – Judson Church as part of Movement Research Presenting Series w Jamie Graham, Alissa Horowitz, Barbara Mahler
I teach almost daily, for more years than I would like to say, ! I move daily. I explore. I still come home to the work I have been studying and practicing since 1977, continually deepening my experience to better communicate to my students, and my dancers as well as to keep myself connected to all that matters.
Special acknowledgements to Dorothy Vislocky for being the force that brought me onto this crazy path called “dance/bodies/moving/seeing.”
My homes are Klein Technique, first certified teacher, contributor, student since 1977, and Zero Balancing, certified as faculty and practitioner since 1986.- Profound and deep thanks to Dr. Fritz Smith and Susan T Klein.
I am honored to be a recipient of a BAX 10 Award for Arts Education this year, 2013.

Dorothy Vislocky and the other said it… Barbara is Barbara and she is spreading all her knowledge to many others in a fine way. Thank you very much. From a student and big fan in the 90’s when you were teaching in Tribeca. I do still carry on many of the things you said and all experiences.
Hope to meet up some day again,
