[Xmca-l] Re: Vera John-Steiner has passed away

[Jessica Kindred]

I’m so deeply saddened by this news. There was a wonderful professor and mentor to me when she was in New York at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her innovative teaching, generous insight, and inspired compassion was such a gift, not to mention her beautiful writing, which stays with us. She also led some wonderful conversations at Movement Research in New York City on Dance with Dance Collaborations in 1993, bridging the academic and artistic communities. I’m very grateful to her, and I send my deepest condolences to her daughter Suki and her grandchildren who brought her such joy.

Dear XMCA Family,

Our beloved Vera John-Steiner died last night very shortly after she
experienced a stroke.
She had posted to this site on 11/25/17.  We will send more information and
an obituary as
it becomes available.  Attached is the last "letter" from
*Constructing a Community of Thought:Letters on the Scholarship, Teaching,
and Mentoring of Vera John-Steiner *(2013).
In this piece, we sought to synthesize all the wonderful contributions
from so many of her friends, collaborators and students from the book
mentioned above.

Warmest condolences to her family and to all her knew and loved her.
