Freespace Dance is a contemporary modern dance company renowned for creating emotionally driven work with a bold athletic signature style. Comprised of exceptionally strong performers, this vibrant company uses controlled abandonment in pushing the limits of inventive partnering. Artistic Director, Donna Scro, a former principal dancer with the Nikolais/Louis Dance Company and a founding member of Sean Curran Company, has been described by Robert Johnson of the Star Ledger as “a dancemaker that seizes an audience’s attention and pulls viewers into her “space” and noted that, “in all of Donna Scro’s pieces, a recognizable human element surface wordlessly and goes straight to the heart.”
