Pam Tanowitz Dance was formed as a vehicle for the investigation of the fundamentals of concert dance, its rich history laden with codified techniques and vocabularies, and the seemingly inescapable literal human narrative. Choreographer Pam Tanowitz has created a body of original work that intertwines the disciplines of ballet and modern dance, linking lyrical and abstract movement within a distinct structure.
Beauty blends with awkwardness to represent the conflicting forces that exist in our "post-everything" landscape. The clash and subsequent coalescence of these ideas-made-physical is the underlying tension and hoped for resolution at the heart of Tanowitz's work.
“a clear sighted post modernist, Tanowitz’s studious, deliberate dismantling of traditional balletic movements produces a stream of provocative fresh juxtapositions"
The New Yorker
“Pam Tanowitz exhibits a strong sense of dance architecture. She constructs congenial dances with
choreographic intelligence. Modern dance and ballet steps are stirred into stylish sequences with daring athletic punctuation marks”
