ABOUT MY WORK

​Lynn Modell/Making Dances was founded in 2015 to create accessible works for everyone, including people who say they 'can't understand' modern dance.  Her pieces often portray humorous moments of everyday life we can all recognize, perhaps even changing our point of view. That might include challenging the status quo, the frustrations of dating . . . or trying to look cool in a disco even when that's obviously a lost cause! Lynn's work has been commissioned by Across the Ages Dance Project, and has been featured at Boston University, The Dance Complex and Green Street Studios (Cambridge, MA), and the Phantom Theater in Warren, Vermont.
