Current
In 2020, Michael Kliën launched the pioneering Laboratory for Social Choreography at the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University, which serves as his current home for expanded choreographic research. Since 2017 Michael Kliën is Professor at Duke University and served as Inaugural Director (2019–2021) of Duke’s new MFA in Dance: Embodied Interdisciplinary Praxis. In Europe, he continues his affiliation with R.I.C.E.on the Greek island of Hydra (R.I.C.E. Facebook page). In 2023, he concluded a social choreographic trilogy a decade in the making (Parliament, Amendment, and Constitution), premiered his seminal work The Utopians (with En Dynamei) at Athens Festival (Greece), and started a new work series (produced by Duke Arts) entitled '11th Organ'.
