Michelle Stortz/Ring Dance Theater

I've just created this performance company, Ring Dance Theater. I'm using the word 'ring' because I like the image of the circle especially when it applies to a group of people coming together for a common purpose like making dance and theater art. Ring also refers to sound and sound waves rippling out into the world. I like to think that what we create in the studio and on the stage sends out positive, inspirational, groovy, thought-provoking, sexy and robust ripples into the cosmos.

Our premier performance, 'Dissaray', will be in this year's Philly Fringe. We'll be at the Tower Gallery in Northern Liberties, on September 5th and 6th, 6pm. Dancers include: Karin Bookbinder, Lindsay Browning and Erin Foreman-Murray. We're sharing the bill with NYC's Tindance, directed by Kristin Hapke. More info soon.
