Linda Rabin has supported Carol Prieur as a teacher for more than 30 years. According to the legendary dancer, Linda opened the doors to research and mystery for her. From the very beginning, she says, Linda allowed her students “to step into the unknown in a supported, guided way, where you dive into what becomes a life’s journey.”

For Carol, Linda practices her own personal quest, her search for truth – always in movement – her relationship to life, with her students in her classes. Her teaching touches into something almost mystical, something greater than oneself. This transmission, Carol says, has allowed her – and still allows her – both as a dancer and as a transmitter of Marie Chouinard’s repertoire, to live fully as who she is, in her truth.

A moving encounter between three great dance artists.
