Exposing the myriad masks we are all forced to wear each and every day to fit in with society’s norms. A unique vision of Dance from the ‘inside out’.
Angela Blumberg —Dance
Founder, Artistic Director and Choreographer of Angela Blumberg Dance (ABD).
From a very young age, I knew that nothing is what it seems to be. I could see peoples’ masks and defences and yearned to know what’s behind them. I became fascinated by the tension between outer and inner surfaces, the ‘illusion’ we present to the world and the ‘reality’ behind it. My vision of Dance is a continuation of my lifelong search for identity and emotional freedom.

What people say
In “Shadow,” the protagonist’s uneasy truce with her inner-other breaks down in an art gallery. They argue. It’s visceral, but in typically playful fashion, Blumberg presents a dynamic that is as funny as it is urgent. Here that familiar struggle —conscious/unconscious, you/you — falls into a feedback loop that oscillates between tragedy and comedy. The pitch she finds is both jolting and tender.
