The mission of the Amy Marshall Dance Company is to further
evoke the passion of the arts in audiences globally through
a deeper appreciation and knowledge of what modern dance and
the performing arts can bring to each individual.
The Amy Marshall Dance Company (AMDC) is a premiere dance
company that presents a powerful new force in dance. Established
in February of 2000, under the guidance of Artistic Director,
Amy Marshall and Executive Director, Chad Levy, AMDC takes
the art of dance to the next level. The comfort of the classics
meets the brilliance of the future as Marshall's work blends
choreographic physicality with the art of human passion. The
elements of Marshall's composition bring the power of imagery
and intense strength to the stage in over nineteen works giving
each piece breathtaking individuality. Her blend of intricate
spatial patterns, expansive line and athletic movement is
a distinctive grace that cannot be challenged. Hailed by "Dance
Insider's" critic Paul Ben-Itzak, "[Marshall's]
dancers do things you've never seen before in record time.
And they do them with great verve and musicality."
Since its existence,
AMDC has toured extensively, performing, teaching and setting
the company's repertoire on universities and dance companies
across the nation. AMDC has also developed an educational
outreach program including residencies, lecture demonstrations,
and school/community performances to educate the public about
the art of modern dance. The educational outreach program
has traveled to the New Hampshire Yeomen Workshop, Goucher's
Summer Arts Institute, and frequently visits South Carolina
where the company teaches multiple master classes and performs
in over thirty schools.
