Metropolitan Playhouse presents
Rachael Kosch Dance Company
Rachael Kosch will present four contemporary ballets including three premieres, danced to original music by Michael Kosch.
Hailed as "the high point of the dance season" by Chicago critic Ann Barzel and described as creating a psychological dance language "almost in the manner of Martha Graham," Rachael returns to the Metropolitan stage with 7 outstanding dancers, husband Michael Kosch's music, sister Rifka Milder's painted backdrop, two musicians, and Mrs. Kosch's signature whimsical "propstumes."

About Rachael: Rachael has held faculty positions at Ballet School NY (the official training academy of New York Theatre Ballet) and The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. She was co founder, choreographer, costume designer, and performer for The Kangaroo Garden, her music and dance troupe, founded in 1993.
Rachael has produced concerts of her own choreography at Merce Cunningham Studio, Dancespace Project at S. Mark's Church, Judson Memorial Church, and Stephen Gang Gallery. Her dances have been presented by New Music Chicago, American Women Composers, Mo Ming Dance and Arts Center (Chicago), The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance, 550 Broadway Dance (Zvi's), Westbeth Center for the Arts, and New York Theatre Ballet.
A choreographer of critical acclaim, the Chicago Reader said, "She makes excursions into the distorted world of the psyche. It's as if [Kosch] were creating a precise vocabulary for psychological events, almost in the manner of Martha Graham". In 1998, Dance Magazine critic Ann Barzel hailed her as "the high point of the dance season".
