Parsons Dance

About me:

Parsons Dance creates American works of extraordinary artistry that are engaging and uplifting to audiences throughout the world. The goal of Parsons Dance is to make contemporary dance accessible to the widest possible audiences. In addition to choreography and performance, Parsons Dance positively impacts children, students, and communities through student performances, lecture-demonstrations, master classes, post-show discussions and more. Parsons Dance has a company of nine full-time dancers and maintains a repertory of more than 70 works choreographed by David Parsons, twenty of which feature originally commissioned scores by leading composers and musicians, including Dave Matthews, Michael Gordon and Milton Nascimento. Parsons Dance has collaborated with many other leading artists, including Julie Taymor, William Ivey Long, Annie Leibovitz, Donna Karan and Alex Katz (to name a few). The New York Times called David Parsons “one of the great movers of modern dance.” New York Magazine referred to him as “one of modern dance’s great living dance-makers.” Parsons Dance dancers are Eric Bourne, Sarah Braverman, Melissa Ullom, Steven Vaughn, Christina Ilisije, Jason Macdonald, Ian Spring, Elena D'Amario, and apprentice performer Christopher Bloom. ....
