Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater (SPDT) is an internationally recognized performance company, founded in 1979 by Stuart Pimsler, and co-directed with Suzanne Costello since 1984. The company has been presented throughout the US and internationally in Canada, Europe, Israel, Taiwan, Russia, Bermuda, China, and Mexico. SPDT’s community inclusive work, which engages a diverse array of populations – students, caregivers, audiences, and community members – has been lauded as a “National Model” by The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and its Arts & Healthcare work has been recognized for “Best Practices” by the National Endowment for the Arts.
In 2021, Stuart Pimsler’s book THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF CARE/Engaging Caregivers in Creative Expression was published by Harp Publishing the People’s Press. The book chronicles how the work of Artistic Co-Directors Suzanne Costello and Stuart Pimsler has continued to creatively respond to the needs of caregivers in professional settings and in homes.
