“an entire universe of throbbing, sprinting natural life… There was a sense not of pathways or travel, just of irresistible natural forces at work… magical.” Jennifer Dunning New York Times
The Jordan Fuchs Company is a project-based dance company, directed by Jordan Fuchs and based in Denton, Texas that creates choreography for stage, screen, museums and outdoor spaces focusing on the crafting of relationships between dancers, whether spatially through the use of counterpoint or through contact improvisation based partnering work, a movement form Fuchs has been practicing for more than 30 years. More recently his research has focused on language-based prompts for movement generation and on blurring boundaries between the visual and performing arts through explorations of dance as sculpture, painting and photograph.
For a recent write-up on Fuchs in Arts and Culture Texas that explores his interests in empowering dancers in the choreographic process and in trying to activate ‘a quality of more than we can know’ in the performance space, please click here.
