Animus Movement
'Bloodflow
Animus Movement is a project-based dance company that focuses on providing artists a chance to perform through dance films and other alternative mediums. The company was born out of the cage of the pandemic with the purpose to continue providing opportunities for artists to move freely and share their craft and love of dance to audiences. The company loves to collaborate with their dancers, as well as other choreographers, musicians, visual artists and beyond. In October 2022 the company expanded and now has two locations, one in its original hometown in NYC and another in Denver, Colorado. Receiving several festival invitations, the company has performed at Dixon Place, the KnJ Theater, Triskelion, Mignolo Arts Center, Sam Scripps Studios, Green Space and the TADA Theater in NYC, and at the Dairy Arts Center and the Parsons Theatre in Colorado. In the last two years Animus Movement has created three dance films and co-produced a show at New York Live Arts and two shows at Ballet Arts, City Center NYC.

The presented work explores the impulses and control/lack of control of these impulses felt by neurodivergent individuals.

Permeating Voices that Linger blurs the lines between feminine, masculine, strength, weakness and the social constructs surrounding “power, ”aiming to both represent and challenge what it means to be a woman, showcasing through movement that we are all interconnected, and we are all more than we appear to be.

NU-World Contemporary Dance Theatre
Conversation: Gratitude
NU-World Contemporary Danse Theatre is a contemporary dance company whose art intentionally opens pathways for conversations. Through dance theater, we feel that our work addresses the resilience of the human spirit through the stories that come from the experiences and intersectionality of our black, brown, and queer identities in America. Conversation Gratitude is an exploration of music and movement. The artist embodies the musical themes and variations to become a physical manifestation of Ahmad Jamal's jazz score. The work progresses into a conversation between the artist and God. It reminds us that gratitude should exist within us daily and that life is to be enjoyed, living with an open heart.

Andamio
W
Melania Fernández, (MA in Dance Education NYU) director of Andamio Escuela de Movimiento, together with three of Andamio’s young and promising dancers Isabella Carabaguiaz, Lucy Eduarte and Juliana Herrera partnered with the writer/architect Diego van der Laat (Architectural Association 2006), to create W.
Set in a fictional Massachusetts, in 1692, the fervor of witch hunt drives men to the sea in search of mermaids. Dancers use flow and sharp movements to create contrast. Partnering establishes connection, protection and strength between them. Women's sensuality, strength and power are key roles in this narrative.

Heaven Full of Stars
David Appel has choreographed and performed work throughout North America, Europe, and in Mexico since 1973. His pieces are driven and enlivened by improvisation, as he explores the connection between codified dance languages and aspects of the movement of our everyday lives. His interest with groups is in how we find new ways to move together, individually and collectively wielding our skills and imaginations to create vibrantly danced conversations. “thank u for your support” (2019) was the latest manifestation of this activity: it sprang from an initial investigation into the idea of an “assisted” solo, as well as the reciprocal influences/interactions between and around us.
