“On the first night of Artscape, Full Circle Dance Company filled Theatre Project with an energetic and broad range of modern dance works…a combination of technical strength and tremendous passion.”—Radar
Full Circle Dance Company is a multiethnic professional ensemble that performs exciting choreography from a variety of modern dance traditions. Drawing on the diverse backgrounds of its dancers, the company works in a collaborative spirit to bring technically and emotionally challenging dance to a wide audience.
The company makes special efforts to collaborate with artists from other disciplines and to reach beyond traditional audiences for dance. In October 2004, Full Circle Dance Company presented an evening of dance at the Baltimore Museum of Art called The Dancers and Writers Project. At this performance, professional writers, young people, and members of the general public joined together in writing down their thoughts about the action onstage. This interdisciplinary project, which included a free workshop for young dancers and writers, was heavily covered in the local media and named “Critic’s Choice” for dance by the Baltimore City Paper. In October 2005, Full Circle presented Motherhood, Memories, and Movement, a grant-funded evening of work on the theme of motherhood that brought stories gathered from Baltimore citizens to life in movement.
Full Circle Dance Company has performed locally at the Hippodrome Theater hosted by Dance Baltimore, at Artscape, at Theatre Project, at the Baltimore Museum of Art, and by invitation in the Maryland Council of Dance Festival Concert. The company has also performed by invitation at OhioUniversity in Athens, Ohio, and at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. In 2001, Full Circle Dance Company performed at the Broadway Dance Center’s Choreographers’ Performance Outlet following a competitive selection process. The company was then chosen for the “Best of…” choreographers’ showcase at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
Full Circle Dance Company is in residence at the Morton StreetDance Center. The important partnership between school and company creates opportunities for professional dancers to share their knowledge with young dancers in training.
