In 2020, ODC/Dance was poised to premiere Up for Air/Decameron on stage. This summer, we embarked on a breakaway project: transforming the work into ODC/Dance’s first feature film, directed by Brenda Way. The work touches on the combustible nature of love, the pleasures of connection and the resilience, irreverence and joy that help us survive tumultuous times.
SKETCH 11: Interrupted pays homage to the worldwide disruption of the pandemic and reconceives Imagery’s original plan on a smaller scale. Seiwert and Needham-Wood will use specific tools of deconstruction and reconstruction to expose the inner workings of each piece and lay bare each choreographer’s conscious and unconscious habits.
Entering its 50+ anniversary year, ODC/Dance was one of the first American companies to incorporate a postmodern sensibility into a virtuosic contemporary dance technique and to commit major resources to interdisciplinary collaboration and musical commissions to create repertory for more than 50,000 audiences annually. We value strong ballet technique, partnering ability, brazen courage, appetite, nuance, idiosyncrasy, generosity, discipline, humor. Dance for us. Talk to us. Execute a task. Dancers must have a strong technical background in ballet, at least two years professional dancing experience, and be eligible to work in the United States. Masculine presenting and BIPOC dancers are highly encouraged to apply.

Savor an afternoon in the natural beauty of McEvoy Ranch in Sonoma. Raise a glass by the lake, wander the gardens, and thrill to site-specific performances by ODC dancers.
Funsch Dance’s extended-length work, EPOCH, subverts conventional performance models by pushing the limits of duration. In cheeky defiance of Doris Humphrey’s warning “All dances are too long,” EPOCH unfolds over 12 hours, in a gratuitous surplus of movement, interrupted by moments of nothingness, to challenge the valuing of acquisition and excess.

Kathak artist and choreographer Charlotte Moraga's new work, Mantram, an artistic creation exploring resonance through movement, music, percussion, and vedanta, the world's oldest, unbroken oral tradition. In this piece Moraga seeks out connection in a time when we have become so utterly disconnected, from ourselves, from one another, and from the earth.
