winter AIR 2019: Lillian ransijn

10/29/2019

 
We are delighted to welcome Lillian Ransijn as our Winter Artist in Residence. The Winter and Spring AIR cycles draw from within our staff and student community to support artists offering something exceptional at the intersection of genre, style, and discipline. (The summer AIR cycle is open to the public and the applications open around March.) We have seen Lilli perform at 'WORKINONIT' in the summer of 2018, as well as in Lily Kind's work at 'WORKINONIT: Deluxe' this past summer of 2019. Lilli is found getting her sweat on in many classes at UMA, especially Ron Wood's Movement Flow and  Vince's House and Waacking classes. We are also grateful to the Lilli as a work/study who has been with UMA for two years. It is with a LOT of love that we offer her space to dig into it this winter. She will present a works in progress showing in January of 2020.

Lillian Ransijn is a Dutch/American dance theater artist. Raised in Wyomissing, PA, she followed her Magnolia-mouthed mama’s footsteps down to Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where she earned her BA in Dance and Movement Studies and trained and performed with Susan Eldridge/DENSE, Catellier Dance Projects, and Out of Hand Theater. In 2008 she founded her own ensemble, Ground Delivery Dance Theater, as a vehicle to experiment with the dance theater form. A 2016 graduate of Uarts/Pig Iron’s MFA program in Devised Performance, she is dedicated the cross-pollination of artistic forms through ensemble-driven work. Lillian has choreographed and performed with Amanda Byars, Blake Beckham/The Lucky Penny, Claire Porter, David Dorfman Dance Theater, Dance Truck, Duende Dance Theater, Ellisorous Rex and the Dance Machine, Fly-By Theater, Helen Hale Dance, 7 Stages, Theater Emory, and Wolfthicket/Lily Kind. She is a proud member of Moving in the Spirit's community, where she was as a teaching artist from 2008-2011 and guest choreographer for the Teen Apprentice Corporation National Tour.  She feels most alive digging intimately into universal questions through the communal pursuit of artistic questioning.
