The Linda Bair Dance Company was founded in
the summer of 1998 and made its debut in 1999. In 2001,
the company relocated to Davis where it is in residence at the Davis Art Center. The seven member group has performed throughout California as well as produced many concerts in Davis. Their work has been included in Berkeley's Works in the Works, Sacramento State's Festival of the Arts, the Bay Area's National Dance Week and as part of San Fransisco's Westwave Dance Festival in which dance critic Ann Murphy wrote:"Bair's "16x24" was a stunning group work that employed swift streams of linear, cross-cutting movement and mercuric shifts from small group to large employing precise balletic leg work and quirky arms. It was all executed to a heart-beat like pulse and performed with sophisticated zeal." Twice the group has been
featured on the television program "Good Day Sacramento". They began a
fruitful collaboration with UC Davis professor Darrin Martin as part of
the Merce Cunningham Creativity Project, resulting in several free
concerts of dance/video/ animation performance. The company also
co-produces the Dance As Is Festival, a one day performance and
discussion by multiple companies in the Central Valley and the Bay Area
creating a bridge between the two dance communities. The Linda Bair Dance Company is in residence at the Davis Art Center. Visit us on Facebook and become a fan! |
