Catherine Gallant/DANCE
Catherine Gallant/DANCE was formed in 1999 after Ms. Gallant began working with her present group of dancers, creating works ranging from solos to large group dances. Ms. Gallant’s work often explores themes of chance, doubt and the body as a source of comfort and torment. In addition to traditional theatrical settings, Ms. Gallant has created works to be performed in train stations, abandoned piers, rose bushes, church balconies, in the middle of streets, in cemeteries, at the beach, in soccer fields and on rooftops. Catherine Gallant/DANCE has been seen at Danspace St. Mark's Dance Access, The Figment Festival, Chashama, GreenSpace, American Dance Guild and at the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center. Since 2007 Catherine Gallant/DANCE has focused on non-traditional sites for its work. The company's goals include cultivating new audiences for dance and building an awareness of dance in the fabric of everyday life in both urban and natural environments. Currently the focus on dance video as a mode of sharing has increased our audience base and offered new and welcome challenges for our creative process.

Escape from the House of Mercy was scheduled to be performed in April 2020. In the summer of 2020 we created a short video designed and edited by company member, Erica Lessner. Inspired by our hour length choreography dancers created their own video footage at various location across the country. Erica then combined existing video that was to be projected in our performance with these dancer generated clips.
