Lingo Dance's photostream  

Lingo is the project of KT Niehoff. It is the container for her creative works in all forms – performance, commissions, writing, film, teaching and research. Lingo expands and contracts in numbers depending on the demands of the work, yet is centered around a reoccurring cast of characters who have been instrumental in the creation of Lingo’s vision.

In the last three years (2007-present), these bravehearts, lunatics, magicians, actors and yes, dancers, include: Bianca Cabrera, Dustin Haug, Oscar Gutierrez, Ricki Mason, L.B. Morse, Sarah Murat, Michael Rioux, Kelly Sullivan, Aaron Swartzman and others.

Lingo has been presented internationally in Canada, Japan, Ecuador, Germany (as one of four companies chosen to represent the U.S. at the 2004 Tanzmesse, Düsseldorf) and Cuba. Nationally, the company has been presented by venues including On the Boards, Seattle, The Joyce SoHo, NYC, SUSHI, San Diego, Alverno Presents, Milwaukee, Jacob’s Pillow Inside/Out Festival, The Southern Theater, Minneapolis (through an NEA funded touring initiative Niehoff created called SCUBA) and Vanderbilt University, Nashville, as well as many colleges and universities throughout the U.S.

Lingo’s artistic integrity has been recognized by such institutions as The National Endowment for the Arts, The National Dance Project, The National Performance Network, Meet the Composer, Seattle, Washington and King County Arts Commissions, Arts International and the Bossak/Heilbron Foundation.
