dirac Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 An interview with Lynn Cox, the new artistic director of Marin Dance Theatre. Quote Q How’d you meet your predecessor, Margaret Swarthout, and join MDT? A Margaret had known (Atlanta Ballet) director Robert Barnett. I moved to the Bay Area and sent Margaret my resume. She was at Marin Ballet at the time. She called me right away and said they’re looking for a teacher. I taught there, went to a few different places, but I kept teaching for Margaret. When she started MDT, she told me to start it with her. I look back and it’s remarkable where we are now. As the founding director and artistic director for 25 years, she modeled to me a work ethic and humanity that I strive to continue on a daily basis. Her passion for MDT and for the art of dance was a foundational strength, and the school culture we created together during the past 25 years I remain extremely proud of. Link to comment
