Guest Artists
Ryan Tuerk will be performing and presenting choreography at the Spring Clebration Benefit. He is a graduate student at Temple University. He is pursuing a master's level degree in somatic inquiry and choreographic research. Ryan holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Also, Ryan has completed six levels of classical ballet pedagogy based on the methodologies created by Agrippina Yakovlevna Vaganova, for Russian ballet technique.
Ryan has had extensive performance experience including: musical theater, contemporary, and classical ballet repertoire. Ryan has been a resident choreographer for Dissonance Dance Theater in Washington D.C. for three consecutive seasons. He is on faculty at the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet, Dissonance Dance Theater's summer dance lab intensives, and has instructed classes for Temple University's musical theater department.
Ryan's choreographic research consists of a fluid exchange between pure circuitous movement trajectories and linearity, as defined by classical vocabulary. Ryan maintains a strong belief that it is within an inward navigation between circularity and linearity and the raw and refined that the body can be the most expressive. Ryan's work employs palpable emotionality and psychoanalytical research, as a lens, to enlighten the human experience through corporeal expressions.
Christine Morano began her dance training at age three and her aerial training in 2008. She holds two bachelors degrees, one in dance and one in biology from Stockton University and has completed the professional training program with Frequent Flyers Productions Aerial Dance Theater. While in college, she performed in biannual concerts with Stockton Dance Company; studied with multiple artists including Christine Dakin and Rob Davidson; and studied dance abroad at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia. Christine has taught and performed both aerials and dance all across the country, has been teaching at The Philadelphia School of Circus Arts since 2009, and is a proud cast member of Greg Kennedy's Theorem. She has worked for companies such as Alchemy Dance Company, Brian Sanders' JUNK, Instinct Movement Collective, Altitude Aerials Dance Company, Pink Hair Affair, Frequent Flyers Productions Aerial Dance Theater, The Give and Take Jugglers, Airplay, Anne-Marie Mulgrew & Dancers, and Greenchair Dance group. Christine is the proud director and choreographer of Lifted, a dance company focused on integrating alternative aerial apparatus seamlessly into grounded choreography. She is thrilled to be presenting a piece from her own repertoire a part of PAB's spring concert. (Photo Courtesy of Alchemy Dance Company/Figtree Photography)
