Update #2: Back from Argentina...

Posted on April 13, 2010

Hello friends, colleagues and supporters!

I'm so grateful and I feel buoyed by your support. I've tried to reach all of you personally to say thank you, but a few of you just posted your first or last name, so I'm not 100% sure who you are yet. Once I've reached my goal here, I'll collect your contact info to send you your rewards, so I will definitely be in touch with all of you individually by the end of May.

If you know of anyone who is a fan of Deborah Hay and wants to support my commissioning a solo from her, please don't hesitate to pass on this kickstarter page to them!

And for those of you who would like to read about my teaching a performing in Argentina, please follow this link: http://nicolebindler.blogspot.com/

Thanks again and I'll be in touch!
Warmly, -Nicole Bindler

Update #1: Argentina!

Posted on March 1, 2010

Hello project backers,

Thank you so much for your support! You will all be receiving personal messages from me next month, but I'll be away for most of March, teaching and performing in Argentina and will have limited internet access.

Thanks again, and I look forward to sharing details about Argentina and updates on Deborah Hay's Solo Performance Commissioning Project!

Love,
-Bind

Connected as Nicole Bindler (2057 friends)

I am an experimental dance artist, inspired by my studies of new dance, dance-theater, contact improvisation, and butoh. I'm also a bodyworker and use healing practices, such as body-mind centering, yoga and feldenkrais, as a source of creativity, inspiration and physical training.

Dance is a social art form and I'm a promiscuous collaborator. I'm mostly known for my collaborations with avant-garde musicians, but I also work with other dance, theater and visual artists. I have choreographed over 20 original dance works, and have performed over 200 improvised dances in cities throughout the U.S., Canada, Argentina and in Berlin, Tokyo and Beirut.

I'm currently practicing free improvisation: dances without any predetermined plan. My work is always site-specific in that I seek to activate and enliven all spaces that I dance in, whether they are theaters, studios, homes, places of business or the outdoors. I also seek to connect audience members to their own embodied, corporeal experience with the immediacy and spontaneity of performance.
