ABOUT

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is in constant motion, known both nationally and internationally for commissioning and presenting works by exceptional choreographers as well as its Artistic Director, Daniel Charon.

Ririe-Woodbury is deeply invested in the diverse language of contemporary dance, providing audiences with a variety of choreographic styles in a single evening. The Company’s broad repertory ranges from minimalist to multi-media dances by some of the world’s most evocative choreographers like Doug Varone, Kate Weare, and Ann Carlson. Ririe-Woodbury is committed to producing innovative, moving, and compelling work that challenges audiences’ perceptions of what contemporary dance can be.

In addition to commissioning and presenting new work, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company serves as the repository of Nikolais Dance Theatre— performing multimedia masterworks created by Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis every 2-3 seasons.

Further, the Company loves bringing traditional and non-traditional spaces to life with invigorating and highly tailored performance, education, and outreach programming. A 20+ activity residency menu allows presenting partners the opportunity to build unique residencies that engage their communities and meet their programming objectives.

The Company achieves its overall mission by:

  • Commissioning and presenting works by choreographers of exceptional talent.
  • Annually presenting new work by choreographer-in-residence and Artistic Director, Daniel Charon.
  • Serving as the only company to perform full-evenings of Nikolais Dance Theatre.
