About Marion Kant:
From the age of 14 Marion Kant danced with the Komische Oper, Berlin, under the choreographer Jean Weidt. At the Komische Oper she also worked as a dramaturge. Ms. Kant has taught at higher education institutions in Germany, Great Britain and at the University of Pennsylvania; presently at the University of Cambridge where she is Director of Studies for German Studies. Marion has written extensively on the culture of the Weimar Republic, exile from Nazi Germany, Nazi ideology in the arts, and on opera and dance works and choreographers. Her dance historical research has focused on romantic ballet in the 19th century, education through dance in the 19th and 20th centuries, concepts of modern dance in the early 20th century and dance in exile.
In 2001/2002 Marion was a fellow at the Centre of Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. In the past years, together with musicians Marshall Taylor, saxophone, and Sam Hsu, piano, she has presented a concert series in the United States and in Austria remembering “entartete Musik”, music banned by the Nazis in 1930s Germany.
