Enchanted about dance as a sustainable physical practice, Francesca Baron (mfa, ryt) delights to be in conversation with/in movement + dance-making alongside students, collaborators and communities. She enjoys working with various demographics and uses choreography as a vehicle of connection. In the last decade Francesca has produced original work that has been presented at academic institutions, festivals, self-produced shows, film festivals, art galleries and on dance companies, studios and competition stages. Notably her choreography has been selected to present at Jacob’s Pillow and Harvest Chicago Contemporary Dance Festival.
Francesca Baron Dance is a space where dance is made in collaboration. We're committed to cultivating, centering, and advancing embodied interpersonal connection through dance + performance-making. Baron’s primary focus is using movement as the vehicle to imbue the everyday with sensitivity, creative-action, dialogue, dance, community, and forward motion.
Making work that is driven by themes of tenacity, subtlety, femininity and memory, Baron's choreography expresses nuance and dexterity with the moving body holding the epicenter. Valuing both the kinetic and somatic experience, she aims to capture fleeting moments of the human experience; a bid for connection, here to offer feeling and a bit of wonder.
