Jonathan Riedel
Limón
Biography:
Jonathan Riedel is the choreographer and Artistic
Director of Riedel Dance Theater, founded in 2003. He has
created works for the Limón Dance Company, the Purchase
Dance Company, the Yard, Dance New York International, the
Good Moves Consort, Agnes Scott College; and developed
choreography and character movement for the video game,
Godessia, produced by Artware. DanceView Times proclaimed
his work “brilliant," "profoundly moving," and having "an
ingenuity and timing that would make Petipa jealous." His work
has been performed at the Kennedy Center, the World Trade
Center Plaza, The Egg, FringeNYC, the Downtown Dance Festival,
and DanceNOW NYC. His solo The Angel was integrated into
AHRC’s curriculum of dance for students with autism.
A native of Rye, NY, he began dancing at the age of 17 and
graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Conservatory of Dance at
Purchase College. He prospered in a career with the Limón Dance
Company from 1996 to 2006, performing works by Doris
Humphrey, Antony Tudor, Donald McKayle, Murray Louis, Jirí
Kylián, Lar Lubovitch, and Doug Varone. He danced many of José
Limón's masterpieces including Chaconne, Orfeo, Psalm, There is
a Time, and The Moor's Pavane. Tobi Tobias of ArtsJournal
declared him to be "surely one of the most fascinating dancers
the company has harbored." He recently earned an MFA in
choreography at Purchase College.
