About BEEJ: Dance Exploration
Ataraxia Dance Theatre Company (ADTC) has has broken through the soil and is sewing passion into the hearts of our communities. In a creative collaborative effort to place concert contemporary dance on the map in Green Bay, Wisconsin, ADTC has captivated our audiences by showcasing energy, vulnerability, and sentiment through movement and lived experiences. The company's inaugural dance exploration BEEJ, has broken the 4th wall, inviting patrons to engulf themselves in an intimate environment that guides them with permission to feel how the power of dance connects us at a humanistic level. ADTC's raw emotions, combined with mesmerizing choreography, synergizes the atmosphere, stripping away the mundane ideologies of what dance is thought to be and paves a path to the realities it possess. The vitality that is poured through this work, isn't something that can be felt through your device, but from the comfort of the space. Its fullness can only be experienced in the moment.
- Isn't interesting that the tiniest of seeds, can grow into the most beautiful plants on the earth? Weathering resilient conditions, environments, and toxins that try to tear them down to their core.
- The creative pillars of BEEJ, began with the company's investigation of their lived experiences, as it pertains to a specific time in their life were they have seen the most growth.
- Reflecting on the emotions journeys from their beginnings and seeing the continuation of growth. The dancers acknowledge their challenges, struggles, and endurances as a tool to continue growing.
- Collaboration plays an imperative role in this creative process. Once commonality was established, we all came together to share movement that encrypted itself into our company's muscle memory. Forming deeper relationships and a positive community.
- Just like a seed, life's cycling process is a continuous circular motion of planting, growing, enduring, pollinating, and witnessing the beauty of a what we pour/sew into.
