Anna Thérèse Witenberg is a choreographer and dancer living in New York. Her first evening length show “Heat” was presented this fall at Pageant, Kestrels, and excerpts shown at Canada Gallery in conjunction with the solo exhibition by Lee Mary Manning. Her collaboration with Shade Théret called “Mal Intent” was presented by the Lament series and staged at the Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin. As a dancer, she has collaborated extensively with Maya Lee-Parritz, Isa Spector, Anna Sperber, Sarah Michelson, Joanna Kotze, and visual artist Nick Mauss, performing in their work at venues such as Whitney Museum, the Kitchen, the Walker Art Center, the Shed, American Dance Festival, Judson Memorial Church, and Abrons Art Center. She will be touring the EU this spring with choreographer Anna María Häkkinen on her commission for Perfoma. She is a Visual Arts MFA candidate at Hunter College.
Dominica Greene is a bi-racial Caribbean-American artist harnessing the elements, spirit, and womanness into an existence rooted in love, community, and regeneration. Residing on the unceded lands of the Munsee Lenape people, Greene creates conceptual, body-based art guided by her philosophy that dance is a ubiquitous energetic entity encompassing anything that is alive or in proximity to aliveness. Her work seeks to reflect nature, human and otherwise, as a way of highlighting humanity, our similarities and differences, and the stark similarities in our differences.
