Her performances have taken place in galleries, theaters, museums, outdoor sites, and dance festivals in New York, Maryland, Ohio, and Edinburgh, Scotland. Stein's work has been supported by numerous grants and fellowships and she was a finalist in Choreography for the 1999 PEW Fellowship in the Arts. She participated in a four-week residency at Djerassi Resident Artists Program in California and spent two weeks in residency in South Carolina this spring. The final weekend highlights vintage dances by Mixed Pickles, a Philadelphia-based dance company. Couples in period costume swirl across the marble floor in the Conservatory Exhibition Hall, giving viewers a glimpse of the dances of the 1920s, '30s, and '40s.
Interested visitors can take a turn with the dancers and learn some new steps.
