Community Engagement
Bryce Dance Company often creates community engaged works for the stage and site specific performances with individuals who span a wide variety of ages and backgrounds with no formal dance training in collaboration with company members. Some of our recent community projects are outlined below.
To You, Around You, About You (2014)This is a community engaged evening length performance piece centered around the themes of aging, memory,
hope, dignity, health, illness, and transition/loss. The work was developed and performed with members of Bryce Dance Company and the community. It incorporated movement and oral history interviews from residents of area assisted living facilities during the company’s tenure in Vermont. This work was made possible by the Vermont Artists Space Grant through the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts. Performed at Goddard College (Plainfield, VT) |

Rising Above Water (2011)Rising Above Water was choreographed in response to the flooding from Hurricane Irene in Vermont. The flooding destroyed homes and businesses. The work includes video from the flooding that impacted Vermont. Bryce choreographed this work in response to helping a friend clean up her home after having feet of water in the house. Bryce organized and produced the performance which raised over $2000.00 for flood relief. Performed at Goddard College (Plainfield, VT) as part of Rising Above Water: A Hurricane Irene Benefit Performance.
