Biographical / Historical
Alice Condodida is a dance artist, choreographer, director, professor, and Master Limon specialist. She has performed as principal
dancer with the Limon Dance Company under the directorship of Jose Limon. Internationally, she is recognized as a Limon Master
Artist, in her role as teacher, reconstructor, and lecturer on Mr. Limon's dance legacy.
Formerly, her New York City based dance company earned grants from the National Endowment on the Arts, and the New York State
Council on the Arts. In Santa Barbara, she created Repertory-West Dance Company, and for twelve years served as Artistic Director
touring internationally as performer, choreographer, and producer of representative works by American artists such as Jose
Limon, Anna Sokolow, Lucas Hoving, Louis Falco, Kathryn Posin, and Remy Charlip. The dance company was in residence at the
Dance Division, University of California, Santa Barbara, where she was professor for nineteen years. The Dance Division in
recognition of Ms Condodina's artistry established the Alice Condodina Dance Performance Award given annually to a student
with distinction in performance.
As a choreographer, she created over fifty dance works. Choreographies set on foreign companies have been performed in Great
Britain, France, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and Russia. Ms Condodina was one of the originators of foreign exchange for Prague
Dance Theatre and the Prague International Dance Festival. In 2003 her contributions of the city of Santa Barbara in the art
of dance were recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award given by the Santa Barbara Dance Alliance. As of 2024, she serves
as the Edward A. Dickson Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Santa Barbara, works as reconstructor of Limon
legacy choreography for professional dance companies, coaches and lectures with the NYC Limon Institute's Professional Studies
Program, and directs workshops internationally in Performance Techniques for Dancers, and New Innovations in Choreography.
