About us

Aiming to transcend boundaries between a variety of art forms, Christopher Williams Dances combines contemporary dance with visual design, music, and/or puppetry to yield multifaceted movement-based performance works in a unique mythopoetic genre. Inspired by the ways in which early bands of humans ritually engaged with supernatural denizens of otherworlds, Christopher Williams Dances works present a contemporary queer testimony to a primeval cultural impulse to journey beyond the known realm. By combining highly technical choreographic vocabulary with vivid visual designs and music integral to each new work, Christopher Williams Dances aims to revive and reimagine ancient sensibilities of ritual and spectacle in order to immerse a broad public in fantastical new worlds.
