Babs is the artistic director of Dancers’ Workshop. She has performed, choreographed, and taught modern dance and visual art throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, Canada, and South America. She attributes her multidisciplinary approach to dance to her professional affiliations with the Harry Partch Foundation and Company, Richard Landry of the Philip Glass Ensemble, and Lincoln Center Institute and Obie award winning actor Bob Berky. She was the founding director of The Center for the Arts in Stuart, FL for 12 years. Case is a past beneficiary of National Endowment for the Arts funding and a two-time recipient of both the Florida and Wyoming Fellowship Awards for Choreography. In 1992, she was awarded an IndoAmerican Research Fulbright fellowship to study dance, theatre and visual arts in India. As an educator, Case has taught at universities throughout the U.S. and offers multidisciplinary residencies in schools and workshops for underrepresented youth. In 1999 she moved to Wyoming and formed Contemporary Dance Wyoming. In addition to performing, choreographing, and teaching, Case also consults for non- profit arts organizations, helping them develop stronger staffing, fundraising strategies, and programming. Most recently her contributions were recognized in 2009 by receiving the Cultural Council of Jackson Hole Award for Creativity.
