CHOREOGRAPHERS SPOTLIGHT:
Elyse Fahey

Elyse Fahey is a multidisciplinary dance artist from Albuquerque, NM. After completing her training at the Merce Cunningham School in New York in 2006, Elyse began her professional career working with Doug Varone and Dancers, J. García Dance Company, Donna Jewell, and as a freelancer. Her choreography has featured at Carmel Dance Festival, SOLOCOREOGRAFICO in Germany and France, winning the Audience Choice Award, and Cora Dance Festival in Italy. Elyse is the executive director of Studio Sway, a community hub for freelance and independent contemporary dance artists in Albuquerque. She produces concerts, intensives, residencies, and festivals, including the upcoming FRINGE Festival in association with Festival Flamenco Albuquerque 39.

NMBC is very grateful for the opportunity to work with a promote voice of artists within our community. The inclusion of Elyse's piece "NOVA" in our performance highlights the freedom we feel as artists through dance and makes for the perfect closing number of our performance. Here's what Elyse had to share about the piece:

"NOVA was made in 2023 during Elyse's artist residency with the Keshet Makers Space Experience, and funded by a Resiliency Residency grant from the City of Albuquerque's Urban Enhancement Trust Fund. The piece is a celebration of Elyse's first and most beloved dance form, contemporary jazz. "

Be sure to join us TODAY for NMBC's Choreographers' Collective!!!
