About this user

Sidra Bell Dance New York (SBDNY) is a New York City based contemporary dance troupe presenting innovative, provocative and kinetic dance theater works. Sidra Bell is an emerging and sought after voice in contemporary dance with a strong female vision creating work that ignites the imagination and explores the complexities of the human condition. The company's repertoire features pieces that are simultaneously haunting, emotionally transporting, complex, dynamic, articulate, sensual, ecstatic, and highly physical. The company has become known for unconventional, forward-looking works that push past dances traditional vocabulary, venues, and boundaries. The vocabulary is risky, elegant, fantastical, and darkly romantic with original themes and larger than life characters. The content approaches the psyche illuminating themes that are beautiful, frightening, tragic, and often life affirming. With a process that values research over product the company has created several highly successful installation and theater pieces including site-specific works Chimeras (Stella Adler Studio of Acting) and House Unrest (The Gershwin Hotel), and the award winning Conductivity, duet for dancer Shamel Pitts of Batsheva Ensemble and up and coming actor Robbie Sublett (graduate of NYU/Stella Adler). Each work uses a visceral and raw sense of physicality to create atmosphere and works that feel pictorial, vivid, and like mini tapestries evoking a sense of future and past.

The company and the work of Sidra Bell has been presented at such prestigious venues and series as Jacobs Pillow Inside/Out Series, Tribeca Performing Arts Center, CityParks Dance Foundation, Tangente (Montreal), Place des Arts (Montreal), Usine C (Montreal), Thelma Hill Performing Arts Center, Ballet Builders New Choreographers on Point, Kelly-Strayhorn Theater, Stella Adler Studio of Acting MAD AIR Series, Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater, Baryshnikov Arts Center, The Margie Gillis Foundation, The Harlem Stage E-Moves Series, Symphony Space, The Schomburg Museum, The Gershwin Hotel, Westchester Arts Council and Joyce SoHo.

Sidra Bell has received recent commissions from Ailey II, Ballet Austin, The Sacramento Ballet, Springboard Danse Montreal, National Choreographers Initiative, Ballet Divertimento (Montreal), Canadian Childrens Dance Theater (Toronto), Purchase College Conservatory of Dance with the St. Lukes Orchestra, Arts Umbrella (Vancouver), Perry Mansfield, Bessie Schonberg Choreographers Residency at The Yard, and The Juilliard School. Her critically acclaimed work Conductivity was invited to the Stuttgart Solo-Dance-Theater Festival and the Hanover International Choreographers Competition in Germany. It was awarded a 2nd place prize for performance in Stuttgart and will be toured at The Athens International Dance Festival and in Germany in 2009.
