interdisciplinary dance artist, performer and teacher
Maré Hieronimus is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary dance artist, performer and teacher whose choreographic work lies at the intersection of contemporary dance, sound, story and imagery. Often working as a solo performer, her work seeks to generate atmospheres that are rich, layered and visceral, that mysteriously inspire the imagination of the viewer. Through the exploration of non-linear storytelling,
and softening the separation between performer/observer,
she seeks to re-imagine threads of archetype, myth and personal/collective memory within a contemporary context, placing the viewer inside of a world where dreams and visions come awake in scores of
many-layered potential meaning.
“…the dancers seemed to tell distinct stories that were only just beyond our comprehension….Ms. Hieronimus, who finished the program, elevated the evening to something breathless converting a series of uncomfortable positions into zen meditation”
