- Biography
- Pauline Koner (1912-2001) was one of America's foremost modern dance choreographers and performers. Unlike most American modern dancers, she did not trace her artistic beginnings to either Isadora Duncan or Ruth St. Denis. She already was an established figure in the modern dance movement when she affiliated with the Humphrey-Limón Dance Company in 1946. Koner, who earlier had studied and performed with the ballet master, Michel Fokine, had found ballet too restrictive a dance language and decided to work with dance pioneers Michio Ito and Yeichi Nimura. Koner performed in her first solo concert in 1930 and toured extensively in the United States and the Near East from 1930 to 1945, performing solo works.
- From 1943 through1947, Koner headed a production company called Choreotones with Kitty Doner, a former vaudeville headliner. Together they staged productions for the Roxy Theatre and Holiday on Ice and pioneered television dance choreography for the CBS Television Network. As a guest artist in the Humphrey-Limón repertory from 1946 to 1960, she originated roles in such dances as The Moor's Pavane. She continued to choreograph for herself as well, creating many notable works throughout the 1950s and 1960s, including, The Farewell, her tribute to Doris Humphrey. In 1975, Koner turned her attention to her newly formed dance company, The Pauline Koner Dance Consort, which utilized students from the North Carolina School of the Arts. She lectured widely on dance and served on the faculties of many other notable institutions. In addition to teaching, Koner released her autobiography, Solitary Song, in 1989 and a text based on her teaching ideology entitled, Elements of Performance, in 1993. In her personal life, Koner was married to noted conductor Fritz Mahler.
