Christine Heller’s early interest in dance has led to a life long focus on the figure; figure as alter ego, guide, symbol, and source of energy at intersections of the personal / political / social. Christine’s current projects are fueled by the vibrancy of contemporary dance, street dance and the Commedia dell’arte.
Christine was awarded a University Fellowship from the Tyler School of Art of Temple University, Philadelphia, PA where she received her MFA. She has taught at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, Baltimore, MD, at the Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA, at Hartwick College, and SUNY Oneonta, both in Oneonta, NY and at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, Montpelier, VT.
With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional, and sets the stage for concerts and performances that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
