Dr. Lőrinc Katalin (1957-) 19 évesen, egy balettművész diplomával nekivágott a világnak, hogy olyasmit tanulhasson, amit itthon akkor nem lehetett: kortárs irányzatokat… Útja egy bő évtizeden át vezetett Európa különböző színpadain át, majd első gyermeke érkezésekor hazatelepedett Budapestre. Ekkor (3 gyermeke felnevelése mellett) kezdett komolyan foglalkozni pedagógiával és művészetelmélettel. 2014-ben doktorált. Mióta gyermekei önállóak, az oktatói és tudományos tevékenység mellett újra színpadra állt. Előadásában megosztja a közönséggel, hogyan hozta meg élete nagy döntéseit, milyen jelzésekre támaszkodik a mai napig. Az előadás 2019. december 14-én hangzott el. | Katalin Lőrinc is a graduated classical ballet dancer, a professional contemporary dancer, choreographer, university professor and journalist.
