Adam Barruch

Adam Barruch's career began as a young actor. He performed on Broadway and in film and television, working with prominent figures such as Tony Bennett, Jerry Herman and Susan Stroman. He later received dance training at LaGuardia High School for Music & Art and Performing Arts. He graduated early and was accepted into the dance department at The Juilliard School. As a dancer he has performed the works of Jiří Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Susan Marshall, JosĂ© LimĂłn, Daniele Dèsnoyers and is currently a dancer with Sylvain Émard Danse in Montreal. As a choreographer, Adam's work has been presented at venues such as Dance Theater Workshop (NYLA), New York City Center, NYU/ Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, The Juilliard School, The Ailey-Citigroup Theater, SUNY Purchase, New York University, Cedar Lake Theater and Theatre Usine C in Montreal. In March 2009, he self-produced his first full evening of original dance/theater works at The Baryshnikov Arts Center. He is currently working on a new physical theater production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

“I am always interested in reflecting the interior emotional landscape,” said Barruch. “I think working with other people and dancing in other pieces is important for choreographers. Even in the lens of another artist’s vision you are always clarifying your voice and your movement.” -The Dance Enthusiast.

MADBOOTS DANCE

Noted for its "refreshing, often thrilling, straightforwardness", MADBOOTS DANCE is a queer, all-male, contemporary dance company based in New York City. The hyper-physical, provocative company led by Jonathan Campbell and Austin Diaz, was named "25 to Watch" by Dance Magazine and has reached audiences nationally and internationally, mining topics of male identity and queer culture. The company had the honor of performing at The Joyce Theater's first-ever LGBTQ+ Pride Week, as well as performing works at Jacob's Pillow, Fire Island Dance Festival, BAM Fisher Hillman and Velocity Dance Center, to name a few. Presently, Campbell & Diaz continue to create original works for the company, as well as, teach both emerging and professional dancers around the nation.

"Emotionally complex and promising.” - The New York Times

Netta Yerushalmy

Netta Yerushalmy received the Guggenheim Fellowship, a Jerome Robbins Bogliasco Fellowship, a National Dance Project grant, a Grant to Artists from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts and the Virginia B. Toulmin Fellowship for Women Leaders in Dance for her extensive body work.

Her works have been commissioned and presented by the Joyce Theater, American Dance Festival, Alvin Ailey Foundation, Danspace Project, New York Live Arts, Centre National de la Danse (Paris), Suzanne Dellal Center (Tel-Aviv), Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin). Netta works across genres and disciplines: she contributed to artist Josiah McElheny’s Prismatic Park at Madison Square Park, choreographed a Red Hot Chili Peppers music video and collaborated on evenings of theory and performance at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry (Berlin).

Her work has been commissioned by repertory companies around the USA, and she has set work at the Juilliard School, Alvin Ailey, NYU Tisch, University of Utah, Rutgers University, University of the Arts, University of Texas and others.

“I'm obsessed with the singular ways bodies can articulate themselves. Though language has recently been central to my work (my six–part Paramodernities series decodes modernism through both choreography and theory) my art-making begins and ends with a passion for the dancing body.” - Netta Yerushalmy

The Lovelies

The Lovelies have been exploring the possibilities of compositional improvisation since 2013. They have had the honor of being presented at Judson Church, Triskelion Arts, The Tank, Westbeth, Shapeshifter Lab, in breweries, salons, parks, hotels and many other theatres and site-specific locations. The Lovelies teach compositional improvisation at Mark Morris Dance Center and the Joffrey Ballet School and present a space residency and split bill series called Slice&Dice.

“The Lovelies improvise dances with intention and meaning. It's not a meaning that gets pasted on top, but one that dynamically emerges from the relationships that are already there. We practice noticing those relationships, so we can compositionally and choreographically frame and reframe those connections to highlight the richness and lightness of the work.” - The Lovelies
