Guggenheim Award winner Charles Moulton began his career dancing with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company from 1973–1976. He created and set works on the Joffrey Ballet, Baryshnikov’s White Oak Project and many other dance companies in the US and abroad. He won 1989 Dorothy Chandler Arts Achievement Award and received support for his work from the NEA, NYSCA, The Jerome Foundation, and New Music USA. Moulton directed many theater and opera productions and created numerous works for film and television, including choreography for 2,000 dancers in the Matrix Reloaded.
Charles Moulton is a founding co-director of Performance Space 122 in downtown Manhattan and is widely regarded for his signature work Ball Passing, in which large groups work together to solve a living puzzle. Over its more than 40 year history, Ball Passing emerged as a powerful tool for learning and change for community centers, corporations, hospitals, management teams, performing arts organizations, and those with special physical and emotional needs. Moulton lives in Oakland, CA and is the co-artistic director of Garrett + Moulton Productions with choreographer Janice Garrett.
