Inside/Out (2021)

​

Inside/Out is a durational site-specific dance performance that invites audiences to pause, reflect, and imagine.  Through playful navigations of Hopkins Hall courtyard, reimagining relationships to space, place, and each other, dancers invert expectations about architecture, bodies, and the natural environment. Marking one year since the Covid -19 pandemic altered our lives, perspectives, and routines, audiences are encouraged to pause, rest, and reflect upon what it means to improvise, adapt, imagine, and engage in times of change. Inside/Out is the second installment of Ohio State Dance MFA Candidate Laura Neese’s iterative improvisational project, which premiered at Chadwick Arboretum in Tethering: Iteration I (2020), and is supported by an Ohio State University Alumni Grant for Graduate Research and Scholarship and Urban Arts Space Hybrid Arts Lab.

The Blue (2019)

​

In collaboration with Melanie Aceto Contemporary Dance, performance artist Hanae Utamura offers a meditation on Niagara Falls, narrated through the lens of the ancient Japanese Shinto religion and the Japanese postwar consciousness. Drawing on Niagara’s long history—as an object to be conquered by daredevils, a source of hydroelectric power, and a dumping ground for toxic waste—the performance examines the constant renegotiation between humans and the environment.

Balancing Act (2018)

​

Presented by Anne Burnidge Dance, the performances, “Balancing Act” and “What We Leave Behind,” will merge art and science through choreographed dance sequences with yogurt, love songs about bacteria and installations that range from microbe ball pits to miniplots of grass and dirt.

It's Just a Phase (2018)

​

The 1960s were a time of social, political, and cultural unrest and this manifested itself in the art and music of the period. Complementing the Albright-Knox’s exhibition "Giant Steps: Artists and the 1960s", the concert program explores the various musical trends of the 1960s, including Minimalism, phase music, recorded sounds, dance, mechanical works, and performance art. The Buffalo Chamber Players welcomes Anne Burnidge Dance for this performance.
