Duets for a Lifetime

Ruth Benson Levin and Lynn Modell have been working together for many years. They first met as freshman dance majors at Adelphi University in 1972 and have been creating dance works together ever since. After graduation, they moved to Boston, and with other Adelphi alums, formed a dance company called Kineticompany. They used to perform at the old Joy of Movement Center before it was the Dance Complex. They created work for very first “Boston First Nights.”

Individually, they have produced numerous full evening concerts of their own choreography.  They went on to present work at Jacobs Pillow, Boston University, MIT, Green Street Studios, Institute of Contemporary Dance and the Dance Complex. 

Lynn and Ruth taught dance at Brookline High School and many area colleges throughout the past four decades.  They particularly enjoyed choreographing works for their students and watching them grow as dancers.

Now, having reached a certain age, and feeling free and unencumbered from jobs and raising children, Lynn and Ruth decided to continue their performing career under the new name of “Duets for a Lifetime.”
