About

Amanda Reichert and Sarah Salim are collaborators working together to integrate their unique backgrounds, movement vocabularies, and dance influences in their shared creative process. Their work uses dance as a tool to explore and answer their own questions as movers, and to discover relatable ways to draw in the attention of viewers through structural imagery, comedy, simplicity, and catharsis. Their practices look at dismantling the hierarchy of a creative process and simultaneously working to break down the hierarchy of their own body, studying how it feels to work in a dynamic that shares power and communicates with transparency. They draw from their individual and collective influences in classical training, improvisation, floorwork, somatics, etc. as tools to help them navigate, but ultimately putting their focus towards what dance (and the body) can communicate when it’s not trying to fit a particular mold.
