bioghist

{"value"=>"<p>Miriam Winslow, the daughter of a New England industrialist, originally trained with Ted Shawn and performed with Shawn and company until the formation of Ted Shawn and His Men Dancers. She then went to Europe where she studied classic Spanish dance and flamenco as well as training with Mary Wigman and Harold Kreutzberg. In 1929 in Boston, she opened the Miriam Winslow School of the Dance. In 1935, she formed a partnership with Foster Fitz-Simons, a member of Ted Shawn's all male troupe. Winslow and Fitz-Simons worked together for many successful years which included appearances with the Boston, Detroit, and Toronto Symphonies as well as New York City's Guild Theatre and the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center. In 1941, the duo made a five-month tour of South America. Returning alone in 1943, Winslow settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she did solo concerts, taught modern dance, and formed Ballet Winslow, which toured Argentina and Chile. After 18 years in Buenos Aires, she returned to the United States became a sculptor, alternating her time between Cape Cod and Paris, France.</p>"}
