As Artistic Director and co-founder of The New York Baroque Dance Company, Catherine Turocy is internationally recognized for her contribution to the current revival of eighteenth-century ballet.

She has been commissioned to choreograph over twenty opera productions in France, Portugal and the United States, including Rameau's Les Boréades, Les Fétes d'Hébé, and Pygmalion, Handel's Terpsicore, Leclair's Scylla et Glaucus, Charpentier's Les Arts Florissants Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, and, most recently, Mozart's Le Nozze
di Figaro.

As a stage director, she has mounted Gluck's Orfeo in New York City, Handel's Ariodante for the Spoleto Festival USA and Landi's Il Sant'Alessio in Los Angeles. She has worked under such notable conductors as Christopher Hogwood, Nicholas McGegan and James Richman in the United States and John Eliot Gardiner in Europe.

Her ballets have been filmed for French and American television and featured at international venues including the Théatre du Chatelet in Paris, the Opéra de Lyon, the Téatro de San Carlo in Lisbon, the Kennedy Center, and the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center.

In January 1995, Ms. Turocy was named by the French Ministry of Culture to the rank of Chevalier in the "Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" for her outstanding contribution to the field of dance.
