Description

Kent Baker (1947-1994) was the founder and choreographer of A Baker's Half Dozen, the first modern dance company based in Brooklyn, New York (active 1976-1988)
The company, which consisted of six dancers including Baker, performed in spaces ranging from P.S. 9 in Brooklyn to Alice Tully Hall in Manhattan; averaged thirty performances a year; and was the dance company for the Brooklyn Bridge Centennial in 1983. In 1988, he closed down A Baker's Half Dozen, in part due to repeated injuries, and moved with Laurence Mercier, his companion and the company costume designer, to New Orleans. In 1991, he became an adjunct dance instructor and choreographer at Newcomb College of Tulane University, and performed as a dancer and guest choreographer for New Orleans Dance. Kent Baker died in New Orleans in February 1994.
The Kent Baker archives are housed in the New York Public Library.
