AVIVA STONE
La Grande Dame des Ateliers
1948 - 2007
Born in Newark NJ deep in Philip Roth territory, at the time a veritable hotbed of secular Jewish culture, Aviva Stone entered the discipline of classical ballet at the age of six. She later went on to modern and folkloric dance. At the age of sixteen she went to Israel to embrace the pioneer life of the kibbutz.Upon her return to the United States, she was privileged to study acting with the late, great Bill Hickey.

She discovered the art of posing "as a venue o expression with the power of the body and the drama of the individual spirit which has given this actor work for life."

Ms Stone lived in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn NY with her dear one.
