Mariah Maloney is a New York-based performer, choreographer, and teacher working throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. From 1995-2002 she performed as a featured dancer with the Trisha Brown Dance Company creating original roles in Brown's Music Cycle and performing Trisha's legendary repertory. Today she continues her relationship with the company serving as an international guest artist and a director in re-staging repertory. Maloney earned a BFA from Purchase College and a MFA from Hollins/ADF. She currently serves as an assistant professor at SUNY Brockport.

This contemporary technique/repertory class is designed to facilitate a balance of total body connection and personal expression, as well as full access to internal and external space. Class begins with a warm-up and moves into improvisational scores designed to give dancers access to Maloney's musically driven repertory, class concludes with repertory phrase work. Dancers are guided to access quiet subtlety as well as full-out, high intensity dancing.

Mariah will hold a studio showing of her Irish Solo: Turas (thruss) on Thursday 20 May at 5pm. Irish Solo: Turas (thruss) began on a Sunday afternoon in Dublin's Temple Bar where she witnessed three musicians playing vigorously on a tiny corner stage. This vibrant solo dance is infused with the mood, rhythms and textures of Traditional Irish Music played by Lad Lane.
