Imagine for a moment that your life’s work was to constantly create something never before seen. Something that always surprises, and, if you’re lucky, delights. That’s been the intention of choreographer and dancer Mark Morris.

For nearly a quarter of a century, Morris has worked on the cutting edge, choreographing both modern dance and ballet that defy convention. In so doing, Morris has managed to capture what for many artists can be an elusive combination: unorthodoxy and longevity.

Mark Morris can also boast the first single-choreographer dance company in the country with its own dance center, complete with an enormous studio, extensive office space, and a water heater big enough to allow all the dancers a hot shower after rehearsal. Creativity built to last.
