Larry Keigwin is a native New Yorker and choreographer who has danced his way from the Metropolitan Opera to downtown clubs to Broadway and back. He co-founded Keigwin + Company with Associate Director Nicole Wolcott in 2003. Keigwin's electrifying brand of contemporary dance reaches national and international audiences with dance that embodies a theatrical sensibility of wit, style, and heart. Keigwin has created dozens of dances for himself and his dancers, as well as for the Royal New Zealand Ballet, The Martha Graham Dance Company, New York Choreographic Institute, The Julliard School, and many others. Runaway (2008), a fashion-inspired choreographic ride, was proclaimed “a thrilling coup d’theater” by James Wolcott of Vanity Fair. His work in musical theater includes the new production of Rent, for which he received the 2011 Joe A. Callaway Award from the Stage Directors and Choreographers Foundation.
