Join host Joanne Carey as she chats with Special Guest: Dante Puleio, Artistic Director of Limón Dance Company This episode of “Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey, is a part of an exciting series Joanne has created that is focused on Artistic Directors titled: Artistic Directors; "Creating the Torch: Legacy, Mission, Vision; Making and Keeping, History in the 21st Century" Within the series, several guests join Joanne to dive into the responsibility of carrying on the mission and legacy of well established and often world famous dance companies, dance institutions and academies as well as the journey of artistic directors of newly established dance companies and institutions who are paving their own way in the dance world making their artistic mark for generations to come. In this episode, Joanne sits down with fellow New Jersey-n, Dante Puleio, to discuss his vision and the mission of leading the historical legacy of one of the world's greatest modern dance companies while reimagining its timelessness. Not a small task, but one that Dante continues to show audiences that his artistic and technical mastery and authentic love of the Limón historical roots has so much to bring to the 21st century dance world and beyond. Dante Puleio is the Artistic Director of the Jose Limón Dance Company. A widely respected former member of the Limón Dance Company for more than a decade, Puleio is the sixth Artistic Director in the Company’s 75-year history, a position that originated with Doris Humphrey. After a diverse performing career with the Limón Dance Company, touring national and international musical theatre productions, television and film, he received his MFA from University of California, Irvine. His research focuses on contextualizing mid 20th century dance for the contemporary artist and audience. He is committed to implementing that research by celebrating José Limón's historical legacy and reimagining his intention and vision to reflect the rapidly shifting 21st century landscape.
