De Funes Dance is dedicated to researching the intersection of dialogue and movement in contemporary dance. Funes’ choreography is a rich tapestry of nuance and expansivity, and always works to communicate its conceptual framework. Whether it is sourced from literary texts, conversations between his artists, or musical scores, language forms the foundation of Funes’ choreography.
Funes treats his choreography as perpetual process--one in which his artists are equal collaborators. His rehearsals are centered on discussion and intellectual debate. The resulting choreography is purposeful and imbued with intent. Unwilling to accept a singular style or monniker, Funes’ choreography is a constant surprise. His interest in research and mutability are matched by his attention to pacing and arc, creating works that are not only challenging, but entertaining, as well.
De Funes Dance is not a passive experience for audiences. The work may draw the viewer in or keep them at an emotional distance, but it will always be memorable.
