Alexandra Beller Dances - Summer Intensive in Brooklyn!

"Alexandra Beller/Dances is an ensemble of highly skilled dancer/actors working on the edge between dance and theater. Rich with personal revelations, performances attempt to move, stimulate, impassion and incite the audience. Ripe with metaphor, abstracted narrative and controversial ideas, the dances traffic through the dangerous territory of homophobia, sexism, and emotional isolationism. The company seeks to intersect distinctions between races, nationalities, sexual orientations and political affiliations through a series of artistic collisions. The creations are a truly unique hybrid form, where speaking and moving are essential forces in the creation of meaning. Dances often pay homage to great writers and fertile landscapes of words are often used to create a sense of place, time and relationship. Movement is a key to the startling, idiosyncratic and mysterious information that resides in the body. The process is highly collaborative and focuses on bringing as many artistic models to the table as possible in an attempt to create original imagery, sound and structure. . .Education, performance, discussion and community involvement are all pathways taken towards audience and community partnerships."

I am thrilled to be heading to Brooklyn for a week this June to study with Alexandra Beller and a series of other incredible guest artists, including Kelly Bartnik, Maria Bauman, Jennifer Harge, Olivier Tarpaga, Deborah Black, and Todd Coulter. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of dance and theatre, so the opportunity to study with a company creating such groundbreaking work right at that intersection is absolutely invaluable!
