WHO ARE WE?

BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance is an NYC-based non-profit contemporary dance company, officially formed in 2011, and active with individual projects since 2004. We create original dance works in collaboration with composers and artists of all disciplines, and have performed and taught across the continental United States, Dubai, Cameroon, and in Europe. We work very closely with our Musical Director, John Yannelli, to make each BodyStories performance a unique sensory experience, upholding our mission to create profound emotional responses for our audiences. In addition to creating and performing innovative works, our company is committed to connecting with diverse populations through dance education and community engagement projects, while also maintaining a stable business model to sustain our work. We collectively speak nine languages and research, perform, and collaborate with artists from five continents.
