About CLANCYWORKS DANCE COMPANY
ClancyWorks Dance Company is a collective of performing artists directed by Adrienne Clancy. The members of our company have more than 80 years of dance and choreographic experience. Together we held major choreographic, performance, and administrative positions in numerous nationally recognized companies, festivals, and universities. We produce choreography that is physically demanding, powerful, evocative, and ultimately profoundly human.In our dancing we lift, press, roll, leap, climb, resist, surrender, stack, and build, using our bodies to construct poignant images that can shift perceptions of self and society. Our company offers this unique approach to choreography through Clancy’s creative process, which involves architecturally informed partnering work developed from the contributions of a diverse group of dancers.
Clancy conceives and formulates choreographic structures and challenges for the company members to solve. The company members offer movement contributions and ideas to help build the work to a larger and more expansive idea. Clancy then molds the work into a cohesive thought, that incorporates and blends the ideas of the dancers in a manner that highlights their voice, but is also in keeping the ClancyWorks aesthetic practice that we call: “architectural partnering.”
