Omnivore Dance

A Touch of Sin

Omnivore Dance is led by Yinqi and Maggie, two Chinese-born choreographers and dancers based in Columbus, Ohio. Their duet works have been presented at festivals across the U.S. and China. Calling themselves “omnivores,” they draw from diverse artistic influences, transforming them into bold, visceral performances. Embracing primal energy, they craft wild realities on stage, exploring themes of myth, folklore, violence, and intimacy through techniques like Gaga, Countertechnique, contact improvisation, and dramaturgy.

A Touch of Sin is a duet exploring evils — anger, delusion, violence and greed for food, sex, and freedom — through movement. It seems that only in a spectacle can dreams of evils be celebrated. Hence, in this dance we create an imaginary space where gestures of immorality could be exhibited, tolerated, and celebrated so we can finally dance freely and shamelessly.

Olivares Dance Company

Capeador

The Olivares Company is a contemporary dance company led by upcoming artist and choreographer Kevin Olivares. Olivares is known for fusing together different genres of dance including ballet, hip hop, and Latin Ballroom with contemporary and modern techniques to fulfill his artistic vision. Kevin’s ultimate artistic vision is to see his dancers as an extension of his imagination and set work that values beauty, artistry, and entertainment while drawing from his personal experiences.

Olivares’ piece titled “Capeador” follows a bullfighter who gains knowledge and wisdom with every cape she experiences. This piece is inspired by Kevin’s background in Latin Ballroom and his training in modern and contemporary techniques. Humans are complex beings but Olivares argues that we are simply individuals made up of our own past experiences.

Schubert Impromptu

SOKOLOW THEATRE/DANCE ENSEMBLE is the modern dance company dedicated to presenting Ms. Sokolow’s vast body of emotionally riveting work. Over a 70-year career, Anna Sokolow continuously broke the silo of modern dance, focusing on the human experience and accessing any genre to fulfill her artistic purpose. Her masterpieces remain relevant to our times and touch the hearts of all people as we struggle with the universal issues of living, regardless of differences in place and culture. The company’s projects include reconstruction, reimagination, deconstruction, historical performance, teaching, lectures, archiving, and partnering with contemporary choreographers—Claudia Gitelman is among the modernist choreographers whose work resonates with the ensemble. Reconstructed by Pamela Levy, Claudia Gitelman’s Schubert Impromptu is a poignant and dynamic work that showcases both Gitelman’s Hanya Holm roots with her own brand of abstract storytelling.

52) Nolan Dance Collective by Youngsoo Choi (1).JPEG

F L U X

Nolan Dance Collective is a contemporary dance company exploring human connection through movement. Rooted in empathy and collaboration, our work blends intricate partnering and weight-sharing to embody relationships and transformation. Led by choreographer Haley Nolan, we foster curiosity, encouraging dancers to bring their full selves to the creative space. Our choreography, a dynamic mix of fluidity and structure, invites audiences to engage with themes of connection, adaptation, and resilience. Our latest work, F L U X, captures the emotional complexity of a world in constant change. Dancers navigate fluid sequences and sharp shifts, using weight to explore harmony and imbalance. The piece questions whether we embrace change or resist its inevitable flow. At Nolan Dance Collective, we create work that transforms—both for dancers and audiences—using movement to illuminate the deep connections that shape our shared human experience.

Many of our alumni have succeeded as professional performers.
Manicomio: Welcome to a 19th century asylum, where ignorance on mental health prevails and patients are left to their own devices. Is insanity contagious? Wouldn't anyone confined in such a space end up losing their minds anyway? This piece is a small depiction of what mental hospitals were like before the 20th century. This is a fragment from our company's perfomance "Dracula", where we visit Renfield, Dracula's former lawyer who went mad.
