Sharon Kinney (born September 22, 1939) is an American dancer, choreographer, teacher, and videographer.〔California State University Long Beach,http://www.csulb.edu/depts/dance/faculty_pages/part_time/skinney/s_kinney.htm〕 She was an original member of the Paul Taylor Dance Company and has worked with other notable artists such as Dan Wagoner, Yuriko, and Twyla Tharp.〔Sharon Kinney, interview〕 She is noted for creating dance for stage and film, and for exploring dance for the camera. She recently was awarded the 2009 Balasaraswati/Joy Ann Dewey Beinecke Endowed Chair for Distinguished Teaching to honor her outstanding contributions as a teacher to “shape and preserve dance across generations.”〔American Dance Festival, http://www.americandancefestival.org/history/awards.html〕
==Background and education==
Kinney is a native of Dayton, Ohio. She first began her training under Josephine and Hermene Schwarz, with an intense emphasis on ballet and technique. Kinney gained some of her earliest performance experiences through her time studying with Josephine Schwarz, and she describes the school as one geared towards training dancers to become professionals. Even though modern dance was not widely taught at the time, the Schwarzes introduced dancers at their school to the Humphrey-Weidman modern technique at the age of thirteen. These classes were Kinney’s first foray away from ballet into the field of modern dance, and she was enticed by the chance to “fly and leap” across the dance floor. In addition, she was introduced to improvisation, bare feet, and ponytails, which all represent drastic departures from the strict dress code and class etiquette expected in ballet classes.〔Sharon Kinney, interview, 2010〕
She thus graduated from high school with a solid and impressive background, mainly in ballet, supplemented by these modern classes and classes taken at other studios in jazz and tap and by outside performances in musicals. She enrolled at Ohio State University where she received her Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in Dance and a minor in Physical Education. Her teacher at Ohio State University, Helen P. Alkire, was another instrumental influence in Kinney’s development as a dancer. Alkire originally established the dance program through the physical education department, which has now developed into a prestigious fine arts program. Kinney accredits Alkire with introducing her to modern dance greats like Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham in addition to modern music and art. Most importantly, Alkire introduced her to the American Dance Festival, which Kinney attended through scholarship. It was there where Kinney was introduced to Paul Taylor, whose company she later joined. After graduating from Ohio State University she moved to New York City and shortly after received a call from Paul Taylor asking if she would be interested in auditioning for a dance he was choreographing to be premiered at the American Dance Festival. That piece was "Aureole," which is now known as one of Taylor's signature works. Consequently, when Taylor later left Martha Graham’s company, Kinney was invited to become a member of his new company in 1962.〔Sharon Kinney, interview,2010〕
