Nancy Meehan was “a highly original choreographer and dancer whose evocative, plotless works on nature themes found a special place amid opposing trends in experimental dance. … A tall, striking dancer who combined sensuous grace with nuanced force, Ms. Meehan came to notice as a leading soloist in the Hawkins troupe, from 1961 to 1970. … Ms. Meehan founded the Nancy Meehan Dance Company in 1970 and introduced her style with ‘Hudson River Seasons’ in a dazzling premiere.”
