Short Bio
Ellen Kaz has taught, choreographed and performed dance for nearly 20 years. Before establishing Kaz DanceHUMAN Theater, Ellen worked with Remix Dance Company in Cape Town for three consecutive years, commissioned to create company works as choreographer, poet, and writer. She was honored in 2006 in an individual mentorship with Adam Benjamin, international leader in integrated dance and founder of London's ground-breaking Cando-Co. This fall, Ellen will accept a "Special Award" for her work with DanceHUMAN, from the New England Theater Conference.
Ellen has also studied with Bebe Miller, Liz Lerman company, and Meredith Monk. Other influences include Butoh and Tai Chi, improvisational theater, and sign language. Locally, Ellen teaches at the Pioneer Valley Performing Arts High School in South Hadley, MA, and directs Kaz DanceHUMAN Theater, an integrated Dance Project for physically disabled and non-disabled adults.
