In 1974, Regnier founded Rush Dance, a modern dance performance company based in New York City.[8] Regnier lived in France between 1994 and 1997, while she cared for life partner and scientist Michel Gouilloud,[9][10] then suffering from the late stages of Lou Gehrig's Disease. Aware of the inevitable progression of his disease, the couple filmed the final years of Mr. Gouilloud’s life; following his death in 1997[11] the documentary centered around this footage, Moving Gracefully Towards the Exit, was completed (May 2011).[12]

"R.A.B," the first dance performance to integrate 3-D human movement computer animation with live performance;[29] went on to tour most notably to Chicago’s Arie Crown Theater for SIGGRAPH.[34] In 1985 the ballet was made into a film, shot by Ed Lachman and retitled R.A.B.L., and broadcast domestically on Bravo and Showtime in the United States.[35] Ms. Regnier was awarded a double prize at the International Choreography Competition in Berlin, Germany in 1975.[4] She has taught and presented at the St. Thomas School of Dance,[36] Pace University,[37] Drew University, University of Colorado, University of California, and Colorado College.[4]

Technology

Regnier has helped to found many interdisciplinary organizations, including ARTeam, an association of art and technology experts and Human Development Productions, which produces film and video.[41] Regnier acts as a creative consultant for several companies, including Interval Research Corporation, founded by Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft.[33] She has spoken on panels including the F.A.U.S.T. art and technology conference in Toulouse, France and the 2013 Envision Symposium in Monterey, California.[42] Regnier is currently developing the TERP system, a patented wireless multi-channel broadcast system of custom built hardware and software for composing, directing and driving human movement without rehearsal. Public TERP events are held semi-regularly in New York City.[43]
