Curtis Uhlemann
Originally from New York, Curtis began performing nationally at age eleven and began formal dance training at age 18. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, summa cum laude in Modern Dance/Dance Science and Injury Prevention from Brockport College. Focusing mainly on choreography, Curtis studied closely with mentor Susannah Newman (former dancer of the Jose Limon Company) and creator, designer and costumer Peter Garrow, both who served as great influences throughout his training. While at Brockport, he received a full scholarship to the American Dance Festival at Duke University where he studied and performed the works of such esteemed teachers and choreographers as Jose Limon, Betty Jones, Lisa Race, David Dorfman, Paul Taylor, David Parsons, and Mark Morris.
As a choreographer, Curtis' work has been shown throughout the United States and in Europe performing and touring in Spain and Scotland. Mr. Uhlemann's work has received positive notoriety in Dance Magazine as a stand out for it’s exceptional use of space layered with visceral movement and a keen sense of musicality. “Uhlemann truly encompasses the triad of vocabulary, spatial patterns and performance which promises to yield the highest quality of dance artistry.”
An educator for twenty years, Curtis employs a dynamic teaching method developed to cultivate and invigorate dance students through a blend of advanced technical skills and experimental choreography. Mr. Uhlemann has had the distinct privilege of working with thousands of students nationally and internationally, many of who have continued their education and performance careers at such highly recognized arts institutions as, NYU Tisch, Cal Arts, University of Arizona, Boston Conservatory, Florida State University, as well as world renowned companies such as Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.
Curtis toured the United States teaching and performing for the duration of eleven years before becoming a member of the Moving People Dance Theatre in 2003, later serving as their Artistic Director from 2008-2011. He was a designer and choreographer for the ten time world champions The Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps, was the creator and Artistic Director of contemporary dance company ARCOS Dance 2011-2019, and currently trains and choreographs for the Origins winter colorguard programs.
