Nina Watt toured internationally with the Limón Dance Company from 1972-2001, serving as Artistic Associate from 1992-2006. She danced major roles by over 25 choreographers, including two solos made for her by Alwin Nikolais and Doug Varone. Her career included two State Department sponsored tours and a 1995 White House performance. Critically cited as "the perfect Limón dancer," "a dancer of genius" and "one of the most important modern dancers of her generation," Ms. Watt is a 2002 recipient of the New York Dance and Performance Award for Sustained Achievement. She teaches technique and stages Limón repertory worldwide, and is currently Assistant Professor at The Hartt School. She holds a BA from State University of New York, Empire State College and is a Certified Movement Analyst through the Integrated Movement Studies Program.

Repertory Dance Theatre presents Summerdance 2013, an in-depth dance workshop with Master Limón Teacher and Performer, Nina Watt, former dancer with The José Limón Dance Company and Kurt Koegel of Moving Research.
In this two-part workshop students will explore the history and technique of modern dance pioneer, José Limón , and use that knowledge to create contemporary movement and choreography.
THEN
Workshop participants will study with Nina Watt daily in Limón Modern Dance Technique. In addition, students will learn Limón Repertory, and will learn sections of the monumental Limón work, Missa Brevis, she is setting on RDT for the 2013-14 Season.
NOW
In the afternoon, Kurt Koegel will present a Compositional Skills Suite including:
- Viewpoints of Composition, an approach to deconstructing choreography into identifiable components to enhance our ability to perceive, analyze and create;
- Contact and Partnering Skills which focuses on clarity and precision in using duet partner forms for choreographic research
- Real-Time Composition, the collaborative creation of coherent structure while dancing together.
Throughout the workshop materials and methods will be introduced for practice and experimentation. We will integrate this work in composed studies as well as real-time scores. During daily showings, we will continue to sharpen our compositional sensibility by focusing on specific ways of observing, notating and discussing. More information about Mr. Koegel's experience and teaching style can be found at www.kurtkoegel.org.
