Liz Sexe
Central Library Bubbler Room
July - August 2018
Liz Sexe is a dance educator, performer, and choreographer/artistic director of Liz Sexe Dance Company, established in 2014. Her choreographic work has been featured at the World Dance Alliance Festival in Honolulu, Hawaii, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Danceworks in Milwaukee, WI, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin in Spring Green, WI, and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire where she was an artist in residence. In her processes, tasks inspire poetic movement, game theory finds logical, yet often unexpected phrasing, and athletic dancing is paired with deep intentionality.
“For me a dance is never a ‘set’ choreographic work, because a dance piece can never be performed the same exact way due to the ephemeral (impermanent) nature of dance. This makes the process of creating dances both exciting and challenging. Scoring, creating a list of instructions or symbols to interpret, has been used to create dances and share dances over the years. For this residency we will be exploring how we communicate with movement and how we translate or transcribe instructions into movement. These intentional acts become dances!”
