Keigwin + Company

“Keigwin is impeccably musical, with wide-ranging tastes and an unusual ability to make us hear unexpected rhythms and accents in even propulsively percussive scores. He is physically inventive, blending the stretched lines of ballet with the weighted qualities and downward accents of modern dance, and the agility of hip-hop…His theatrical instincts are terrific, and his sense of pace and timing is almost always spot on.”

—The New York Times

KEIGWIN+COMPANY lives to create provocative, witty and engaging dances. Utilizing a collaborative process, Larry Keigwin combines physicality with theatricality, samples a variety of mediums and, ultimately, fuses art with entertainment. He has performed with a wide variety of companies as well as choreographing and dancing for Broadway, Off-Broadway and burlesque showcases. The cumulative effect of these varied influences is a movement style that is at once electrifying and subtle.

Since 2003, K+C has created 15 dynamic works, including audience favorites, Mattress Suite, Love Songs, and Natural Selection. In 2008, Keigwin premiered Elements, an evening-length suite of dances depicting his take on Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. The piece toured to Florida Dance Festival, Bates Dance Festival, American Dance Festival, and Jacob’s Pillow. K+C returned to The Joyce in 2009 and presented the world premiere of Triptych to rave reviews. In the fall of 2009, K+C will travel to Denver to create Bolero/CO and will make their debut at the Kennedy Center.
