An eclectic and full bodied style of contemporary/modern dance that focuses on using codified modern techniques, exploratory improvisational tasks, oppositional directions and energies and utilizing the floor as a partner instead of just a surface. Through various set exercises to warm up, explore weight transfers and find healthy pathways in an out of the floor as well as an open ended, adaptable phrase to research movement invention, each dancer will delve into their individuality and authentic voice as a mover.
Originally from Illinois, Mathew Janczewski has now resided in Minneapolis, MN since 1989. He was a company member, most notably with Shapiro & Smith Dance from 2007-2014 and JAZZDANCE! By Danny Buraczeski from 1992-97. As a dancer, Mathew has performed as a guest with Bill T. Jones + Arnie Zane Dance Company, Bebe Miller, and Jacek Luminski of Bytom, Poland.
