We are artists that collide with living spaces.  React/dance is a site-inspired dance company that works collaboratively with artists, spaces and neighborhoods in a boundary-lessened environment.  Two dancers flaying and falling against the garage doors of a bodega in South Philly, two wide-eyed women weaving through the audiences’ feet in a living room in Brooklyn:  We question performance traditions. React/dance wants to see places through a new lens creating characters who tell open-ended stories about honesty and depletion.  The audience is welcomed into this world; welcomed to create their own version of this loose-ended story, to walk about the space or to stand in the light and have their own performance.  We make art and this is where we want to show it. 

 
 

React/dance venues include The Painted Bride Arts Center, Mascher Space Co-op, Upper Darby Performing Arts Center, a living room in Brooklyn, Kristen’s row home, a stoop on 16th & Moore Streets, outside of a bodega on Spruce Street, the Broad Street Line, Jacelyn’s apartment, and the Community Education Center’s Meeting House Theatre.
