N/A Dances uncovers the choreography hidden in everyday life. Through playful, human-centered storytelling, the company transforms ordinary moments into performances that explore connection, humor, and the beauty of vulnerability. Rooted in collaboration and accessibility, N/A Dances creates work that invites audiences to see themselves in motion, celebrating the shared rhythms that bind us together. The company’s work has toured internationally, reaching audiences across Europe, Asia, and the Americas through partnerships with organizations such as Umbral Danza Contemporánea (Mexico) and PAZ (Portugal). The directors have performed respectively with Company E, The Metropolitan Opera and Handspring Puppet Company, experiences that continue to shape the company’s theatricality, physicality, and emotional honesty.
Their duet, the invitation, inspired by Raymond Carver’s short story Feathers, traces a couple’s journey of losing and rediscovering each other. Through conflict, laughter, and quiet reconnection, the work reminds us that love endures when we remain open and willing to be found again.

Alexandra Light © Steven Pisano
Alexandra Light (née Farber) is a choreographer whose work merges classical form with experimental structure to explore ecology, feminist history, and psychological space. A former Principal Dancer with Texas Ballet Theater, her choreography has been presented by The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Battery Dance Festival, and Steps on Broadway Conservatory. She has held residencies at the Frank Lloyd Wright Martin House, Jacob’s Pillow, ORTO Creative Hub in Portugal, Centre Pompadour in France, and The Volland Foundation in Kansas, among others.
As Above is a contemporary ballet pas de deux that tells an abstract narrative surrounding the expression “as above, so below.” The movements reflect themes of parallel timelines and the questions we ask about what lies beyond. Drawing from cross-cultural mythologies, Light collaborates with composer Matt Kidd and costume designer Lauren Carmen to offer a glimpse into the viewer’s own sense of other worlds.

Elijah Motley © J. Stubbs Photography
Elijah (Eli) Motley, a North Carolina-based choreographer, dancer, and educator, holds an MFA in Dance from UNC Greensboro and a dual BA/BS from Old Dominion University. He has performed with notable dance companies such as Chicago Dance Crash and Rennie Harris: Pure Movement. His own work has been commissioned and presented at festivals and universities across the U.S. Currently, Eli serves as an assistant professor at Elon University.
"Your Applause Please" is a duet that sparks a conversation about the significance of applause. Beginning with an upbeat and lively tone that reflects the excitement of performing, the duet gradually becomes more contemplative and introspective. Eventually, Nina Simone's voice joins the dialogue, ushering in themes of time, relationships, and the delicate art of letting go.
Le Ballet Fou © Noa Griffel
Le Ballet Fou is a dance company established in 2020 in NYC.
Specializing in spectacles of dance, storytelling and song- through the CM discipline, we rejoice in the exploration of movement narratives and structural metaphors. In between immersive theater and concert dance we operate from our speakeasy - the lofty mole. We will present an excerpt of The Birth of the Ghost for the SoloDuo Festival 2026.
Koin & Co is a New York City based training company where artistry meets accountability. Founded on the belief that discipline & heart must coexist, Koin & Co empowers dancers to refine their craft & deepen their artistic voice through intentional choreography, individualized mentorship, & a supportive community. The company’s mission extends beyond the studio, preparing dancers to thrive in collegiate, conservatory, & professional settings. It serves as both a creative home & a launching pad, as many alumni go on to train & perform with top conservatories, collegiate programs, & industry opportunities while remaining connected to Koin & Co’s creative vision. The selected work features Koin & Co alum Kayleigh, whose original solo has been thoughtfully reworked & reimagined as she continues her full-time training at CLI Conservatory. The piece has evolved alongside her growth, reflecting Koin & Co’s ongoing commitment to nurturing its dancers long after they graduate.

In this piece, the artist expresses himself actively and freely without reservation or any preset frames. Like a street clown, he wants the audience to see him as the way he is without trying to define the intended meanings.
Kanyok Arts Initiative © J.Raucci
Ava Raucci is a senior in high school and a student at Kanyok Arts Initiative under the direction of Broadway veteran Laurie Kanyok. And then… is a self-choreographed solo guided by Kanyok, intertwining Ava’s emotive storytelling with the soundscape of a moody saxophone. Through intricate movements and nuanced gestures, Ava delves into the intricacies of rebounding from stillness to fluidity, echoing the ebb and flow of life’s transitions.
Founded in 2025 under the guidance of Artistic Director Lian Long Xuan, Terraformers arises from the idea of transformation and renewal. To terraform is to breathe life into barren ground, to shape what is empty into a place where being can unfold. In this spirit, Terraformers moves through a continuous act of cultivation, seeking motion born from stillness and meaning drawn from mystery. Through disciplined inquiry and the convergence of diverse inspirations, they weave clarity with intuition, forming landscapes of movement that invite both reflection and wonder. Their work is an offering, a shared space where exploration, connection, and becoming are allowed to take root.

Orphic is a newly emerging inspiration unfolding under the talented gaze of NYC based choreographer Tiernan Yei. Tiernan’s unswerving practice is to center dancers in every artistic endeavor while cultivating the definition of Orphic itself - the qualities of mystery, intrigue and being beyond ordinary understanding - from within each dancer to ripple outward through each expression of dance. As a company, Orphic explores waves of dynamic energy where rhythm, tension and flow intertwine. The work moves between control and release - an ever-shifting dance of power and surrender. Orphic is offered as structure; awaiting the opportunity to serve as a vessel for the meaning every dancer seeks to pour out in their art. It is not only the form and technique of each dancer’s body that are instrumental, but also the dancer’s soul and essence of existence.

Steve lamblin © SLynn Siegfriend

Their piece, "Liar's Mane", is inspired by the 1973 film, "Fantastic Planet", by René Laloux. The work serves as an analogy on our comparable nature to beasts, and dysfunctional attachment patterns in clinical psychology.
In the two years they have been choreographing, they have created work for the Dayton Dance Initiative, Mutual Dance Theatre, Northern Kentucky University, and the Synergy Dance Festival. They have additionally presented work at Psychopomp's "Chaos" festival in Santa Monica, California, and the "Yes! Dance Festival" in Richmond, Virginia.
A speck of dust floats with the wind, rising for a moment before falling again. It drifts through the dark and once caught the light of a diamond. Sometimes, we are no different from dust: carried by forces beyond us, rising and falling with nature’s flow. A small part of something vast, with no clear purpose, yet still moving.
Siye Tao is an educator, choreographer, and dance filmmaker currently based in Shanghai. Her choreography and dance films have been presented both nationally and internationally. Selected works include Corralling of Circles, Shattered Ripples, and Watch, and Being Watched.
Yuzhuo Sun is a student at NYU Shanghai, majoring in Interactive Media Arts and minoring in Dance. She is interested in the intersection of dance and technology through movement and new media practices
