Here[begin] Dance is the performance and production project of artist Zornitsa Stoyanova. Her art employs a wide range of media converging on the common theme of exploring and exposing the human condition. Here[begin] is interested in making dances, talking to people, and playing with space, time, tools, technology, paper and paint. Often times theatrical, Zornitsa's collaborations explore non linear stories, movement invention, spoken word, and object installation. She is equally interested in making set performances, as well as structured improvisations. Visual art is a big inspiration to Zornitsa and is sometimes a reason for a creation of a new piece. Ongoing company members/collaborators are percussionist Toshi Makihara, composer Micronesia, composer and lecturer Greg Dunn, dancers and choreographers Eric Conroe,Emma Morehouse, Erin Shanti Desmond, Greg Holt, Zack Svoboda and Lisa Rothstein. Our home is Mascher Space Cooperative in South Kensington.
