ChrisMastersDance: (n) the creative device through which Chris Masters and collaborators construct and present dance work. Our philosophy in dance making is that work should function as a container, seamlessly blending movement invention and character-driven theatricality. While all of the work is based in an interrogation of the human condition, these dances operate on multiple levels allowing for accessibility and connectivity to wide audiences. Like a container, the work can be unpacked dependent on the witness’ interest or experience in viewing dance work. Often theoretical, always cerebral, the dances crafted by Chris Masters in collaboration with his movement artists offer an invitation to engage in a myriad of ways. The primary objective? Creating an empathetic avenue for dialogue between performer, witness, and community.
