Yolande Snaith (Artistic Director) graduated from Dartington College of Arts, UK, in 1983 with a degree in theatre and dance. Since then she has been creating her own work, performing, choreographing and teaching internationally, winning several awards including Digital Dance, Time Out/Dance Umbrella and Bonnie Bird Choreography Awards. In 1990 Yolande formed her own company with financial support from the Arts Council of England; Yolande Snaith Theatredance produced 11 full-length works, which toured internationally, including Blind Faith, which won the Prix D’auteur du Conceil Generale de la Seine-Saint- Denise in 1998. Yolande has received commissions from dance, theatre, opera, film and television companies, including the English National Opera, Birmingham Dance Exchange, Transitions, Ricochet Dance Company, The Verve, BBC and Channel 4 Television. In 1997 she choreographed Stanley Kubrick’s final film Eyes Wide Shut, and in1999 she was the choreographic adviser for David Hinton’s film Birds, which was the overall winner of the 2001 Monaco Dance Screen Awards. Yolande joined the faculty of Theatre and Dance at UC San Diego, USA in 2002. IMAGOmoves was established in 2006 as an artistic ‘umbrella’ for collaborative project with other artists and performers. Since its inception IMAGOmoves has created a range of dance theatre works, including large group site-specific events in urban city locations, to intimate smaller group and solo work presented in a range of venues, from the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj, Romania, to San Diego’s alternative performance spaces. Recent projects include Ruins True, a collective creation with theatre director Gabor Tompa, co-performer/choreographers Liam Clancy and Mary Reich, composer Shahrokh Yadegari, and scenic/projection designer Ian Wallace. Ruins True was previewed in San Diego 2010, and toured to the INTERFERENCES international theatre festival, Cluj, Romania, 2010, then to Budapest and the Off-Avignon festival, France, 2011. In 2012 Yolande was commissioned to choreograph a re-creation of Ruins True with performers from the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj, Romania, and the piece is now performed regularly as part of the company’s repertoire, as well as touring to international theatre festivals. Yolande Snaith created choreography for Eleanor Antin’s production of ‘Before the Revolution’ at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles in January 2012. Yolande’s most recent film project was a choreographic commission for Queens Dream in collaboration with director Mark Freeman, 2012, which is currently being presented in dance for the camera festivals internationally. One Hundred Feet, a full length multi-media dance theatre work designed, performed and choreographed by Snaith in collaboration with video artist Natalia Valerdi, Sound Designer Nicholas Drashner and Lighting designer Wen-Ling Liao was presented at Space4art, San Diego 2012, and UC San Diego, 2013. imagomoves Alison D. Smith (Artistic Director) has been educated by growing up on the rugged Oregon Coast, spending time in the wilderness, surfing, her husband Bradley, children Luna and Ansel, intensely studying ballet in San Francisco and Seattle, UC San Diego, UCI, anthropology, yoga, an endless list of mentors, performances, workshops, master classes, and choreographies in the broad field of dance, and most recently the Feldenkrais Method. Alison is interested in the many ways bodies move; how we all uniquely carry the dance within us. Alison’s performances have left the stage at this juncture, but you can see her dancing on her longboard at Terramar Reef in an attempt to find the fine balance of the classic nose-ride. Her choreography can be seen in the way she gracefully organizes her spirited family on their travels and adventures in the joyous improvisation of life. Alison loves inspiring the students at UC San Diego to be and feel more of their moving selves . . . to vibrate and sense the breathing world around them . . . to live each moment in the DANCE.
