Project By
Connected as Maree ReMalia (753 friends)
I am a choreographer, performer and teacher. Currently, I am participating in the first official Gaga Teacher Training program in Tel Aviv, Israel and studying to become a practitioner of the Ilan Lev method. In June 2011, I earned my MFA in Dance through The Ohio State University where I also taught Improvisation and Modern technique. I received my BA in Education for Social Change and Cultural Studies from Prescott College and taught through the Teach for America program in San Francisco.
In my creative process, I draw inspiration from Ohad Naharin’s Gaga movement language and improvisational studies I experienced at Moving on Center School for Participatory Arts; I have been deeply impacted by Bebe Miller’s emergent style of dance-making and John Giffin’s approach to Dance Theater. I am interested in the significance of using improvisational, sensory-based explorations as a way to cultivate self-awareness, build community and make new discoveries through movement. It is my intent to choreograph work that is reflective of diverse groups of individuals and a collaborative process. My original choreography has been presented in Cleveland Public Theatre’s Big Box and Dance Works series, MegLouise Dance Sneak Reviews, Movement Research at the Judson Church, 60x60 and the Williamsburg Free Fest.
As a performer, I have had the pleasure of dancing with Cleveland-based companies MorrisonDance and MegLouise Dance and previously with Southern Ballet Theatre and the Richmond Ballet. Recently, I performed in the work of Bebe Miller, Ming Shen Gu and Noa Zuk. I enjoyed collaborations with Heather Baur, Kalindi Stockton, and OSU Dance colleagues. Through these associations, I performed in the CinciFringe Fest, Cleveland Public Theatre’s Dance Works series, DUMBO Dance Festival, Ingenuity Festival, New England Dance Project showcase, Ten Tiny Dances and the Yitzhak International Arts Gathering in Acco, Israel.
Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for making a contribution. I was really touched by your love and support. I believe you were notified that I did not make the target amount; I am considering re-launching the project with a lesser goal, I will keep you posted.
Again, I am so appreciative of your willingness to support my project.
Much love,
Maree
keep up all the beautiful and inspiring work! and have fun doing it!
So excited to see your continued progress and more of your beautiful filmmaking!

The U.S. needs Gaga teachers.
Yay! Sorry I am a poor grad student or I would try to fund the whole thing - but every little bit helps!
If this happens - and I am sure it will - what I really want is for you to come teach for me when I finally get set up in my dream job!!! OK? Deal.
Best of luck to you Maree - I look forward to hearing about your cool project!
