About think/dance collective
Founded in 1997 by Artistic Director Liz Joynt Sandberg, think/dance collective is a group of women working to present dance that is fearless, curious and charged with explosive human energy and emotion. think/dance's movement is simultaneously thoughtful and aggressive, pedestrian and technical, energized and relaxed. Dancers hurl their bodies through space, splatter on the floor, and move with captivating abandon as they communicate with audiences about issues we consider everyday, spanning from the mundane details of our lives to climactic and crazy events. Dance pieces address social and metaphysical concerns with humor and realism, posing questions through music and movement, encouraging those participating by watching to draw their own conclusions. Working with compositions by Anathallo, Joanna Newsom, Sufjan Stevens, Half-Handed Cloud, The Books, Animal Collective, Deerhoof and other cutting edge artists, think/dance is moving to the music of a new audience for dance, drawing in a young, progressive crowd with little dance exposure and versed art lovers alike. Utilizing film, text, non-confrontational audience activities, and often elaborate props, think/dance shares with audiences the experience of a world opening up, filled with new possibilities and infinite adventure.
