Dance Residency at the Boston Center for the Arts will give choreographers the opportunity to create dance without the financial burden of rehearsal studio or theater rental. The BCA will serve as the host for the selected company and through marketing support, develop the audience for residency events. This will alleviate the choreographer’s workload of certain logistical and financial items, enabling the artist to focus completely on the creation of work and immersion into the process.

Boston Center for the Arts' Dance Resident Artist, Annie Kloppenberg's new work-in-progress, "Expert Witness," eclipses narrative but invites you into a world with a sense of intrigue, mystery, and memory. With movement structures borrowed from probability theories, social psychology, and the legal system, Kloppenberg plays with perception, revealing incomplete information, the act of bearing witness to and recreating events, and how unrelated occurrences becoming linked in the memory of an event. The act of decoding, or solving, is passed over to you, the audience.

“Annie Kloppenberg is a choreographer of nuances. She takes provocative gestures… and hones them to the point of idiosyncrasy… those gestures highlight the architecture of her compositions like headlights on an oncoming train. By punctuating precise traffic patterns with minute peculiarities, Kloppenberg gives the dance its meaning: Rigor can order chaos if you’re vigilant enough.”
