ABOUT

The Frame Dance Community Ensemble is an invitation for dance-makers of ALL abilities  (ages 12-99) to show up authentically and create in community. To engage the right side of their brains, reconnect their minds to their bodies, and collaborate in the creative process. To share their unique stories, challenges, triumphs, and deep wisdom through the art of movement.

During classes, workshops, and rehearsals, we focus on creating site-specific work grounded in modern dance technique that challenges perceptions and expectations about ageing.

Led by artistic director, Lydia Hance, ensemble members create and perform alongside professional dancers and teaching artists. Together, we encourage support, and inspire each other to grow beyond our comfort zones and tap into our creative potential. Over the last 10 years, the Community Ensemble has performed in a variety of venues throughout Houston.

UPCOMING PERFORMANCES

January 20, 4pm

Frame Dance, known for dancing in unconventional public spaces is now taking to Houston’s most iconic landscape…the PARKING LOT! On January 20 at 4pm, free to the public, and joined by cellist Patrick Moore, Frame Dance Ensemble will perform in one of Houston’s most beautiful parking lots, under the giant Oaks at First Presbyterian Church on Main Street. Choreographed by Artistic Director, Lydia Hance who Dance Magazine has named “the city’s guru of dance in public spaces,” the ensemble will explore our tender connection and chronic distraction from each other through movement constrained by parking spaces.

Free to the public!
