Larry Keigwin ’94 returned to his Hofstra roots to choreograph an original dance piece titled “The Hunt” for the 2017 Fall Dance Concert. Described as an electrifying, high-octane dance, “The Hunt” takes a look at the juxtaposition between animal behavior and human behavior. Set to a pulsating score, this athletic dance explores predatory ideas, the chase, and the pursuit of dreams, to highlight similarities between the animal kingdom and the human community.
Keigwin was awarded a “Bessie” in 1998 as a performer in Mark Dendy’s Dream Analysis and founded Keigwin + Company in 2003. As the artistic director of K + C, Keigwin has led the company as it has performed at theaters and dance festivals throughout New York City and around the world. Keigwin choreographed the Broadway production of the Idina Menzel musical If /Then. In March 2017, his dance company traveled to Africa for a four-week tour and residency co-sponsored by the U.S. State Department and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. In September 2017 Keigwin was honored with an Alumni Achievement Award from Hofstra.
