“By approaching dance with a growth-geared outlook, Judy ensures a rich future for contemporary dance. She is the mastermind behind the stage. Judy is an indispensable force in the New York dance scene, and her original initiatives – especially the Choreographic Center Without Walls and the Platforms series – have ensured that Danspace will remain a staple of our culture for years to come.”
