Julia Antonick
lab artist, 2009

artist biography
Julia Rae Antonick is an independent dancer, choreographer, videographer and yoga teacher. Her dancing and choreography reflect a digestion of modern/contemporary dance, contact improvisation, ballet, yoga, Klein/Mahler technique and Indonesian dance with an emphasis on kinetics and fillagree. Julia graduated from the Chicago Academy for the Arts with the Dance Department's Award of Excellence and received her BFA in dance from CalArts. She has studied at Jacobs Pillow, Bates Dance Festival, The Joffrey Ballet, DNA (Dance Space), The Kitchen, Earthdance (with Nancy Stark-Smith) and other nooks and crannies. Julia has received choreographic residencies at Links Hall (LinkUp) and the Chicago Cultural Center (DanceBridge) and has received grants from CSDP and CAAP. She was recently chosen for Shirley Mordine's Emerging Artist Mentoring Program culminating with her work on the company performed in May 2009. Julia is currently engaged in a long-term collaboration with Jonathan Meyer and is plugging away her interminable group project "Pend".

 




during the CDF year
Antonick's CDF project, Duologue, is an in-depth investigation of what it means to be a duet artist. Within Duologue, Antonick will research existing forms of duet, including Argentine Tango, Balinese LeGong, Contact Improvisation, and Ventriloquism, seeking to create new relationships between movers uncommon in contemporary dance vocabulary.
