Tonight's conversation was with Modern Dance Faculty members, Muriel Cohen and Patrick Suzeau.The COHAN/SUZEAU Dance Company has performed nationally and internationally to critical acclaim. Formerly New York-based and currently at the University of Kansas, COHAN/SUZEAU tours the region with the support of the Kansas Arts Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Programs. Their recent international appearances include India, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Cohan and Suzeau recently returned from a residency at the National Academy of Theatre and Film Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria. COHAN/SUZEAU's New York City teaching credits include the Alvin Ailey School, Dennis Wayne's Dancerschool, Barry-Klein studio, Mary Anthony studio, Brooklyn Theatre Company, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and the COHAN/SUZEAU studio. They are recipients of several grants and fellowships from state and private arts funds. Both have been guest artists at countless universities across the United States. Suzeau spent the spring '07 season in Lithuania on a Fulbright Fellowship where "Dia de los Muertos," choreographed by the pair, was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. The work featured principals and soloists from the National Opera Ballet Company. Before forming COHAN/SUZEAU, Cohan performed with the Philadelphia Dance Theatre. Juilliard-trained Suzeau's early performing career includes Les Ballets Modernes du Canada and the Theatre de Danse Contemporaine in Montreal, as well as various groups and television work in Mexico.
