Sarah Council Dance Projects (SCDP); is a contemporary modern dance company founded in 2007 by choreographer Sarah Council. SCDP exists to create and perform new dance works and to share those works through performances, workshops and residencies.
SCDP has performed and taught extensively throughout New York City and the east coast region. In 2014, Council, relocated from NYC to Charlotte, North Carolina where she continues to develop and perform new work, conduct residencies, lecture demonstrations and dance-making workshops to people of all ages and abilities.
Council’s works range from intimate observations of daily life and relationships to wider focused explorations of pressing social justice issues. Her dances emerge from a collection of personal experiences, research and observations. They are shaped by extended periods of investigation that give rise to an intimacy between the dancers that is deeply felt by audiences. Council’s movement plays with momentum, dynamic contrast and breath while maintaining a physical and emotional clarity that is detailed and precise. Her choreography is grounded in a visceral theatricality, producing dances that are thought provoking and emotionally transporting.
SCDP is in the process of creating a new work entitled “A History of Dirt” for performances in Charlotte and Greensboro NC in early 2019. This piece will consider how the past effects the present and how we carry our histories forward in our bodies.
