BioSHAWN GANNON received his early dance training with Dorothy Wescott Rosen and first danced with MMDG from 1994-2004. Originally from Dover, New Jersey, he was a featured soloist in Resurrection (2002); was part of the original cast for The Argument (1998); and danced the Bird Solo in L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato. Along with Morris, Gannon has the distinct honor of being one of very few men to have performed Mevlevi Dervish, Ted Shawn's historical solo. He has also performed with Lee Theodore's Dance Machine, Mark Dendy Dance Group, Laura Dean Dancers and Musicians, and Jane Comfort and Company.
