SUMMARY:Tribute to the Life and Work of Marilynn Danitz
DESCRIPTION:CAVE resident 2009-2010 and former American Dance Guild Pr
 esident Marilyn Danitz dies of a heart attack.\nIt is with a deep sens
 e of shock and loss that we have to pass on the news that Marilynn die
 d Monday May 24th at her home in Manhattan.\n\nHer husband Richard Lon
 gman has written up a beautiful piece about her life that follows:\n--
 ----------------------\n\nA Brief Description of Marilynn Danitz\nI co
 nsider her an amazing woman, someone who went after her passions, some
 one who thought big, thought way out of the box, and had copious amoun
 ts of drive and enthusiasm. When she died it was a particularly good t
 ime in her career. She had a very supportive group of dancers, she had
  been awarded a residency that gave her a place to rehearse regularly,
  always a dream of hers, and she had many irons in the fire. Maybe 6 w
 eeks ago was an evening performance in Brooklyn, week before last she 
 presented a paper at a UN conference on dance and other topics in Doha
  Qatar, this weekend after her death she has performances in an unusua
 l space on 37th Street, and in 2 weeks her company is supposed to go t
 o a dance festival in Sweden.\n\nLike many people in the dance world, 
 she knew at age 4 she wanted to dance, but dancing lessons seemed too 
 expensive for her family. She majored in chemistry as an undergraduate
 , something that pleased her father. After completing the degree she w
 ent to Geneva Switzerland and started ballet lessons, got a gold medal
  of some kind, and shortly was a professional dancer in the Geneva bal
 let company. Later she was a professional dancer for the ballet compan
 y in Strasbourg France. After some dance accidents she came to New Yor
 k City to do modern dance (normally ballet dancers build up their bodi
 es for the special tasks of ballet starting at some very young age, in
 stead of starting after a BS).\n\nAnd simultaneously she did an MS deg
 ree in Chemical Engineering at Columbia doing a thesis on blood coagul
 ation with Prof. Harry Gregor, and then did experiments on lung surfac
 tants with Prof. Somasundaran, and continued to work on understanding 
 the blood coagulation mechanism with Dr. George Wilner of the Columbia
  Medical School and then of Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. I believe sh
 e published two papers: one in the International Journal of Clinical a
 nd Experimental Pathology, and one in the Journal of Colloid and Inter
 face Science. Som commented that she was one of his first graduate stu
 dents and the “classical” paper they wrote on dynamic surface tens
 ion to simulate breathing is “still cited and not surpassed.”\n\np
