Sommaire

Biographie

La carrière de Murray Louis est grandement influencée par le chorégraphe Alwin Nikolais, qu'il rencontre en 1949 lors d'un cours d'été donné par Hanya Holm[2]. Il devient alors soliste pour la compagnie du chorégraphe avant de fonder en 1953 la Murray Louis Dance Company. Il devient par la suite co-directeur, avec Alwin Nikolaïs, de la Nikolais - Louis Foundation for dance, une organisation réunissant Nikolais Dance Theatre, Murray Louis Dance Company ainsi qu'une école[3].

Parrallèlement à ses activités de danseur et chorégraphe, Murray Louis publie des essais, réalise des vidéos (Murray Louis in Concert) et des films (Dance as an Art Form, The World of Alwin Nikolais).

En 2006 il reçoit un American Dance Festival Award pour l'ensemble de sa carrière.
