Next Reflex Dance Collective

Dance On Site!

April 23 - May 2, 2009

Next Reflex Dance Collective curates Dance On Site enlisting choreographers and movement artists from the Washington DC region to create and perform site specific and site based choreography performed in various locations in Washington DC, Northern VA & Maryland. These performances are free and open to the public. Dance On Site takes place from April 23- May 2, 2010 during Dance/MetroDC's Dance Is the Answer, a regionally based advocacy and community festival for dance in the Washington DC region.

What is a Site Specific Choreography?

Site-specific choreography is dance that is created to be performed in a certain place. The choreographer takes the location into account while creating the dance piece, bringing dance into the real world. Site specific dances take place outside, inside, in parks, in bathrooms, in sculpture gardens, in museums, in small closets, on the street, film projected on walls, or even in real time on-line; anything outside the typical concert stage.
