Nichole Canuso Dance Company

Noted by The Philadelphia Inquirer for dances that have “a presence, a right there-ness in the moment… like a great slowed down slapstick routine,” Nichole Canuso Dance Company (NCDC) creates dances that celebrate the awkwardness, humor and surprise in the human experience. Using subtle gesture, explosive movement, clowning, unconventional audience participation and interactive design, NCDC focuses on developing fully-investigated, hybrid dance projects that exist at the crossroads of movement, visual art and theater.

Repertoire includes Takes, a 50-minute multimedia work for two performers; Wandering Alice, a 70-minute piece that includes audience participation; and The Royal We, for 12 dancers with roles available for local performers. Complementary activities include workshops for dancers and non-dancers, master classes and residencies that include the creation of new work.
