Dance teacher
performs mime
By Liz Austin
Her performance. The New York Times said, hovers
between dance and mime.
The Time is talking about Carolyn Bilderback, a New
York City dancer, choreographer and teacher.
Bilderback is teaching at UNL as the Centennial Edu
cation Program's "artist in residence" and for eight weeks
she will instruct Introduction to Body Movement and
Dance and the Arts through the program.
Bilderback also is teaching a body movement class at
the Nebraska Penal Complex.
In New York City, she is a dance and movement in
structor at the Union Theological Seminary and the Man
hattan School of Music. She also does workshops and
choreography for various groups, she said.
Bilderback also has done much work outside of New
York City.
She was a member of an interracial dance group in
Harlem, choreographed the summer musical "Oklahoma"
at Mount Gretna College in Pennsylvania and said she was
the first person to bring dance to a music school. The
school was the Aspen School of Music.
Pioneered changes
Bilderback is a charter member of the American Dance
Guild and said that throughout her dancing and teaching
career she has pioneered a number of changes.
At the Seminary, she said she introduced a change for
Masters of Divinity thesises. Now only part, rather than
all, is written and part of it is danced, she explained.
She also was the first person to use the Alexander
technique of body mechanics in her work, she said. The
Alexander technique was created by Lincolnite Marjorie
Barstow, she added.
"I was thrilled to be here in Lincoln and be able to
have a private lesson from her," Bilderback said. "I gravi
tate to people not doing things done before."
This is why, Bilderback said, she finds the Centennial
program appealing. The structure of the classes with more
than one teacher is new and is something Bilderback said
she would like to do more of.
"I also like the idea of Centennial sharing an artist with
the community," she said.
'Dream Figure'
Bilderback will be performing publicly Feb. 25 at 3
p.m. in the Nebraska Union Centennial Room. Her
dancing will be all her own choreography and "Dream
Figure", "Woman Dancing" and "Threat of the Universe"
are the titles of some of the numbers she will perform.
"The movements are mine but I am influenced by
other dancers," she said. "When one does their work they
hope it has meaning for some people, but they know it
won't have meaning for all."
Bilderback said she especially hopes her work will be
meaningful to her students at the university and the
prison.
The students at the university and the men at the Penal
Complex have been very responsive, she said.
She stresses movement as a meaRS of being in touch
with one's self and others in her classes, she said. She
wants to put people in touch with their powers by exercis
ing the body and imagination.
Likes UNL
Bilderback said she enjoys working with people in the
17-18 age group the most, but added that she especially
likes what she is doing at UNL.
All three of the groups are strikingly different , she said.
Dance and the Arts has several teachers with more "life
experiences" while the movement class is a younger
group.
"I see a lot of different, beautiful things people
create," she said. "1 like the feeling of being in touch with
the lite and imagination of other people. I also like the
feeling of being a part of a group."
Bilderback has also worked with children's groups. She
taught dance to handicapped children at Hunter College in
New York City and made a 13 minute documentarx of
her work with young children.
Though she has devoted her career to dancing, she
graduated from Reed C ollege in IViland Ore., with a
bachelor's degree in literature.
Friday, February 2, is the last
day for full refunds on all textbooks
