KATHLEEN QUINLAN
Kathleen Quinlan is originally from New York and trained at the Boston Conservatory of Music, the Boston Museum School of Art and S.U.N.Y. Purchase; she has lived in Stockholm since 1987. She was a soloist with Anna Sokolow’s dance company in New York City and is one of the world’s leading figures in the Isadora Duncan tradition. Kathleen was a close friend of Anna Duncan and also inherited Duncan’s entire archive and personal effects, which has, among other things, enabled two exhibitions on Isadora Duncan for the Dance Museum in Stockholm. As a choreographer, Kathleen has worked in dance, theatre and opera in New York and Paris. In Sweden and Denmark, she has toured with pianist Roland Pöntinen in a tribute to Isadora. Since 1989, she has collaborated with Ika Nord as a choreographer in her productions. Kathleen has also taught in the Isadora Duncan tradition at the School of Dance in Piteå, the Ballet Academy, and the Royal Swedish Ballet School.
