The new position adds to the already strong faculty at the university. It also allows Lubovitch – and the dancers of the NYC-based Lar Lubovitch Dance Company – to expand their activities in California, where they will be in residence for up to 10 weeks a year as the company approaches its 50th anniversary season in 2017-18.
Stephen Barker, dean of UCI’s Claire Trevor School of the Arts said “The addition of internationally renowned choreographer Lar Lubovitch to the UCI dance faculty is both an enhancement of the CTSA’s remarkable history of dance education and performance – beginning with Eugene Loring and continuing through Donald McKayle – and an exciting prospect for world-class dance to come.”
Barker added, “For decades, Lar has been the creator of some of the most provocative innovations in modern dance. Having choreographed his first piece in the late 1960s, Lubovitch has...become a dance legend across every performance medium. His versatility will be of enormous value to our students and audiences; he’ll stretch their dance horizons and enchant them with his wit and creativity.”
