About the organization: 

The People Movers is a Brooklyn-based contemporary dance company that creates and performs original works by creative director Kate Ladenheim. Our work reveals the abstract and inherently performative qualities of our world through complex and highly athletic physical expressions. There is a constant search for the relevance in our form. 

Ladenheim founded The People Movers as a platform to explore her choreographic goals and ideas. Ladenheim’s choreography has been praised as “stunning… an interplay of oppositions… pure, unbounded physicality meeting intricate, balletic delicacy” (the Dance Enthusiast). Her group has been selected to show work at the Luminarium Dance 24-Hour Choreofest, the Boston Contemporary Dance Festival, the DUMBO Dance Festival, the CURRENT SESSIONS (Volume III, Issue I) Dixon Place, Symphony Space, and Triskelion Arts Center. In addition, The People Movers co-produced a split-bill concert with Virtuosic Dance Project (artistic director Chelsea Robin Lee). Ladenheim was named a 2013 Breaking Glass Emerging Female Choreographer, and has been commissioned by the Boston-based Juventas New Music Ensemble. The company has enjoyed residencies through The Field’s Subsidized Block Rehearsal Space Rental Program and with The Ballet and Dance Center in Syracuse, New York.
