NIRANJAN - MICHAEL STEUBER

Niranjans career in the theater spans 3 decades and 3 continents. He began his training in classical ballet at the age of 16 at Stephens College in his native Missouri, then soon left his home and country to study classical drama at the Webber-Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London, England. Upon his return to the USA, he landed his first professional job playing the role of Mark in the National Tour of A Chorus Line. In 1981 he moved to New York City and immersed himself in intensive training in dance and acting. He emerged with a featured dance role in the National Tour of Zorba! starring Anthony Quinn, followed by more featured dancing in the Broadway production of 42nd Street. Scores of musicals and plays followed, ranging from Shakespeare to The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; from Radio City Music Hall to off-Broadway and Regional theaters across the USA. Niranjans defiance of artistic limits led him beyond the bounds of performing into the creation of original theater. His choreography has been featured most notably at the Everyman Playhouse in Cork, Ireland, at the Isshinji Theater in Osaka, Japan, and most recently at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute in Seattle, USA. In 2007 Niranjan founded BUDO DANCE THEATER (budodance.com) in Osaka, Japan, where he remains as Artistic Director.
