Bio:
Following his extensive performing career with Twyla Tharp in New York, John Malashock founded Malashock Dance in San Diego. Malashock Dance has performed on both national and international stages, while continually performing at local venues, arts festivals, and touring engagements.

Currently in its 24th season, Malashock Dance is an active contributor to the vibrancy of San Diego's cultural life and has become one of California's premier dance companies. The Company's impressive track record includes the creation of numerous original stage productions, Emmy Award winning dance films, and highly successful collaborations with other cultural organizations.

Malashock Dance always has human experience and characters at the heart of its work. The work is challenging, yet thoroughly engaging. It is technical and musical, but all in the service of sharing experiences which bind us together as people.

Malashock Dance will be performing two works at Celebrate Dance: "Silver & Gold" and "Desperate Love."
