About
Fischer Dance is a dance theater company founded in South Bend, IN now operating out of Salt Lake City, UT. The South Bend version of the company pioneered an audience for modern dance in a region without independent choreographers, directed by Hannah Fischer. After four years (2014-2018) and over 40 public performances, the traditional company model transitioned to New Industry Dance, steered by the former Fischer Dance company. Hannah Fischer and company continue to make collaborative work nationally and internationally with headquarters in both Salt Lake City and South Bend.
The work of Fischer Dance asks how we can be available to each other, how we find each other. Artistic director Hannah Fischer is committed to a rich collaborative process, ongoing community engagement, and utilizing a wide array of public spaces and integrated technologies. Through movement laboratories, audience engagement, and community casts, the dance work asks questions surrounding the complexities of human relationships in our contemporary world.
The performing company consists of performers with diverse backgrounds, often recruiting a community cast to work with the company. If you are interested in participating in a project with us, visit our Work With Us page.
