"EXPOSED"

Watch the first two sections from our November 2016 performance at the Actors Fund Arts Center in Brooklyn, NY.

Click to Watch "Exposed"

"Exposed" is a larger-than-life feast of towering shadow images and movement that explodes with a sense of magic, intrigue, beauty and energy. Creatively incorporating hand-held lights, the piece reflects our modern lives and the need to establish boundaries and maintain a sense of privacy in an online, interconnected world.
20 minutes / Music – Todd Reynolds, Hauschka & Hildur Gunadottir and Matmos.

"Well worth seeing. An abstract cautionary tale (that’s) well-done, entertaining and maintains visual interest throughout." - Critical Dance

DIGITAL DANCES
CREATED DURING QUARANTINE

"TRIBUTIS SERVIENS"
(In Tribute)

WATCH "TRIBUTIS SERVIENS"

Tributis Serviens is a tribute and our "thank you" to all the first responders, healthcare professionals, and essential workers serving on the front lines of the pandemic.

The piece is a supplement to New York's citywide, nightly "thank you" to these workers through a community wide display of appreciation through clapping and cheering from apartment windows, ringing of church bells, honking of horns, and playing of music at 7:00pm for five minutes each evening.

Concept and video by Brenda Neville. Content and performances by dancers Hayley Clark, Laura Dearman, Cheyenne Fitzsimons, Ally Sacks, Lauren Settembrino, Michelle Siegel and Tanya Trombly. Music: Brian Crain.

"VEXATIONS
OF IDLENESS"

Click to Watch "VEXATIONS"

A digital dance piece created during quarantine, "Vexations of Idleness" is a reflection on our frustrations incited by feelings of helplessness from our diminished ability to actively respond to the needs of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic due to stay-at-home orders.
