Read more aboout Noémie Lafrance [2] and her company Sens [3].
In this interview in the Gothamist she describes her working process [4] and why she thinks of her work as an eco-system.
On why she is interested in site-specific works, "Ever since I started dancing, I’ve been interested in site-specific choreography. And I’ve always asked myself why is it that I have to sit in the dark to watch this exciting juicy amazing luscious dance that makes me want to jump off my seat."
She's not the first to engage in high risk dancing [5]but I'm glad to see her going there. It has been a fascination for me always - the interaction of dance and architecture.
