Early life

Jeanne Ruddy was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Her dance education began at the Sacred and Contemporary Dance Guild of Miami under the direction of Diana Avery in Miami, Florida 1966–1970, performing in Arts and Holiday Festivals, Coconut Grove Happenings, churches and synagogues, and theaters. Jeanne Ruddy went on to earn her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from North Carolina School of the Arts.[1] (1971–1973)

She earned her Masters in Arts from New York University, with a concentration in Dance History and Writing (1988–1990).

Martha Graham Dance Company

Jeanne Ruddy was a Principal Dancer with the Martha Graham Company. She performed lead roles in Graham works. In Andromache's Lament[3] her performance was reviewed "Jeanne Ruddy and Jean-Louis Morin made Andromache and Hector attractive young people in Andromache's Lament. Miss Ruddy even looked as poised and glamorous as a fashion model at the start of the piece." Flute of Pan,[4] Diversion of Angels,[5] Deaths and Entrances, Seraphic Dialogue, Clyemnestra, Cortege of Eagles,[6] Embattled Garden,[7] Herodiade[8] and Appalachian Spring.[9] In the Cave of the Heart Ruddy danced in the role of The Chorus, which was reviewed as having been "danced with compellingly troubled warmth and delicacy by Jeanne Ruddy."[10]

In a letter to the editor Ruddy described what it was to dance for Martha Graham, "To live as a dancer in her company was to suspend oneself from an everyday reality – she demanded total commitment, complete discipline."[11]

As a Principal Dancer Ruddy performed on Broadway, at Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan and Paris Opéra houses; toured the U.S.A, Europe, Canada, Mexico, the Mid-East. Filmed N.E.T. Great Performances and Dance in America. She also danced on Broadway in The King and I,[12] starring Yul Brynner, and was an original member of Agnes de Mille's Heritage Dance Theatre.

Academic career

Jeanne Ruddy directed the Graham-based modern department at The Alvin Ailey American Dance Center from 1986 to 1995. She was a faculty member at The Juilliard School from 1987 to 1998.[13] In addition to her work in New York, Jeanne Ruddy has been invited to numerous international symposiums: the Congress of the Dance in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the International Sommerakademie des Tanzes in Cologne, Germany; and the American Dance Festival[14] in Moscow, Russia, where she was the first to teach the Martha Graham technique to an advanced group of Russian artists after Russia opened in 1993. She has been a guest artist where she taught and choreographed in many of the U.S. leading colleges and universities of dance,[15] such as Sarah Lawrence College, Connecticut College,[16] and Florida State University. Jeanne Ruddy's diverse opportunities inform her as an artist, and contributed to her work as a creator of dance pieces.

Jeanne Ruddy Dance Company

In August 1998, Jeanne Ruddy received a grant from the Pew Charitable Trust Foundation for a project called Dans Project 4[29] Philadelphia (later renamed Jeanne Ruddy Dance). The dance company was formally founded in 1999[13] as a company of highly trained professional dancers providing audiences in Philadelphia world-class performances[30]

In April 2006 the Jeanne Ruddy Dance company presented two world premiere dances to inaugurate the opening of the Performance Garage. The performance was lauded by the Philadelphia Inquirer, noting that "This is a company of gorgeous, talented, pedigreed dancers that probably not enough Philadelphians know about."[31] In 2012 Ruddy made the decision to close the dance company and focus her attention on the continued development of the Performance Garage.[32][33]

The Performance Garage

The building for the Performance Garage,[34] in Philadelphia, was purchased in 2000, and after renovations[35] it opened in 2003 as a space for dance classes, rehearsals, workshops, and performances. It is a space for choreographers and dance companies to practice and perform.[36] It continues to operate as an incubator for new dance.
