Company

 

Ariane Anthony & Company is a dance-theater ensemble whose mission is to examine and reflect on human experience through the language of movement, to develop the use of clown technique, puppetry, absurdity, and other antic elements in dance, and to bring dance-theater to diverse audiences and new contexts. It was co-founded in 1999 by Ariane Anthony, composer John Stone, actor and dancer Jackson Kent, and visual artist Diane Bromberg, and has since been presented in New York City by Joyce SoHo, The Construction Company, Dancing in the Streets, and Dixon Place, among others. The Company has also performed in upstate New York, New Jersey, Boston, Philadelphia, Hawaii, and Europe. The New York Times (2000) described the Company's work as merging "untethered fantasy" with "unerring emotional accuracy," and called Anthony "a choreographer of rare imagination and sureness...Hers is a gift to be cherished."
