From LA - Benita Bike's DanceArt in Concert

Benita Bike’s DanceArt, a Los Angeles chamber modern dance company, returns to its roots with two Boston area performances March 30 & 31 at The Dance Complex in Cambridge. Benita Bike’s DanceArt was established in Boston in 1980, and the Company then relocated to Los Angeles in 1990. Benita Bike served as Chair of the Boston Dance Alliance and taught for many years at her downtown Boston studio and at Boston Center for Adult Education. Benita Bike’s DanceArt has performed throughout the US and abroad. The Company’s work is known for its musicality, elegance, and expressivity. Benita makes sensitive observations on life employing expressive gesture, evocative contemporary movement, and an architectural use of space. “If Georgia O’Keeffe’s pastel landscapes were dances, they’d be the plains elegies of …choreographer Benita Bike and her company, DanceArt. Sweeping and full of muscular femininity, her works take charge of the space and evoke the metaphysical power of ritual…” – Los Angeles Times
