It is Caterina Rago’s approach of surrendering her body to powerful emotion that inspires her blazing choreography.
Rago originally from San Lucido, Italy, felt the desire to share her life as a new Italian in NYC.
She officially founded the Caterina Rago Dance Company in 2007 (between rehearsals and performances with the Martha Graham Dance Company) and presented her work in several student showcases and the Graham II NY Season in 2008.
In 2010, two sold-out performances at Manhattan Movement and Arts Center marked CRDC’s debut season.
The company’s work was selected for the White Wave Rising Series Festival 2011, Kat Wildish’s NYC Showcase at the Ailey Citigroup Theater and for the NYC Dance Week 2012 at Dixon Place.
