This summer in Paris, I had the opportunity to study with the Japanese dancer and choreographer Juju Alishina! Click below to learn more about this inspiring woman, dancer and artist. I can't wait to work with her again.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Angie Flanagan and I am, at heart, a collector of stories. I create both live performances and video collections that include dance, poetry and sound as a means to curate from the chaos the memories, stories, and the extraordinary in everyday life. I often explore poetry through different languages, most often French, as a means of exploring what can be understood, what is often misunderstood, and how image and gesture fill in the blanks. I believe the purpose of life is to discover the story only you can tell. We are all in the process of becoming, and my work is an homage to my fellow travelers and collectors on the journey of life.
I have been teaching and choreographing across the United States for 20 years, and my happiest moments are in the studio experiencing the joy of movement. My classes combine Horton and Graham techniques with concepts from African dance and Flamenco, incorporating methods to unlock emotion, musicality, fluidity and a strong relationship to the ground. One of my missions as a teacher and choreographer is to exchange with other artists (in all fields). I seek to learn new mediums of teaching and choreographing with a goal to provide dancers of every age and ability the opportunity to not only train physically, but above all to discover methods of expression and to share a kernel of truth about the human experience.
Les 4 roses sauvages: A video I choreographed and created in collaboration with the French actor Thomas Rolline, who reads one of my poems, as well as dancers Eva Chronert of Canyon Concert Ballet, Taylor Ayotte, principal dancer with Carolina Ballet, Jaxy Emmel and Kendall Lawonn.
