Education and Early Career
Frank Holder received his BFA in dance from Stephens College, and then earned his MFA in dance from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1973. He founded the Greensboro-based Frank Holder Dance Company in 1973, and served as its artistic director and choreographer for 12 years. Back then, he described the company as the “only major modern-dance company in the South”. Holder also choreographed work for the Ballet Isleno de Folklorico of Puerto Rico and the Madison University Dance Company, and was a solo performer for the Rod Rogers Dance Company in New York. He was part of Lincoln Center’s Artist in Education program for the visual arts in 1978 and taught dance and video art at the North Carolina Governor’s School in Laurinburg.
Sculptural work
In 1995, Frank Holder transitioned his artistic focus from dance to sculpture. Holder’s experience as a dancer and choreographer has influenced his sculpture, which tends to have a flowing, organic quality. With dancing, Holder said, “I was always shaping two or three bodies through movement. That’s sculpture in itself. There’s a sense of motion there.” Holder’s works are dynamic, abstract sculptures with natural influences. His early sculptures were mostly in metal, including bronze, steel, aluminum, cooper, and brass. More recent works have incorporated natural elements such as stone, wood, wind, and water. Frank Holder showcased his work in both solo and group exhibitions.
