The performers...

NYC
New Young Choreographers
New Young Choreographers is a collective newly founded in New York City. We are dancers from all around the world, America, Europe Asia (Unfortunately we are missing Africa), that have decided to work together. We found each other in New York, we found ourselves here.

For the moment, just two of us are choreographing, but we are all choreographers that are dancing for each others, some with more experience, working all in towards the same goal, completing each other.


THE WORK

INFLUENCES
Our esthetic is part of the dance theatre world, but it is still dance. We started the creative process working with words and images to then create movement. We incorporate improvisation and imposed sequences in the construction of our choreographies. Our work gives an important place to connection and partnering.

ESTHETIC
Our thematic are inspired by poetry: poetry of sick bodies and lost minds. Poetry of all shades, revealing long time hidden secrets.

NEW WORK
Our new work incorporates theatre dance and more abstract dance.
Gessica is working on madness, dependance and Marjolayne on the joy and the ritual of dance. They both question identity, life purpose, relationships and celebrate the act of life.





THE CHOREOGRAPHERS

Gessica and Marjolayne work together since 2009 using their opposite personalities to complete each other.
In their new work, be they play with partnering work, floor work and vocal work. Although they do it in a different way, they base their physicality on the emotion or the expression of a theme. They play with the gesture to create images and symbols.

MARJOLAYNE AUGER
.Limon technique and argentine folklore are responding to each other in Marjolayne' esthetic. She likes to propose a thematic to improvise to her dancers and then, she experiments and creates choreographic phrases from her dancers's mouvements.

GESSICA PAPERINI
Gessica brings an European wind with her bases in contemporary and release ans she uses impulses from the center to generate an action-reaction style.


*We also collaborate with other international artists that are not permanent member of this collective.

more recent years she has studied at the prestigious Tulsa Ballet
School, Joffrey Ballet School and the Martha Graham

Dance New Amsterdam, also of New York City.

Megan was a member of Circle Modern Dance, of Knoxville, TN from the
year 2000 through 2006, while she was simultaneously a principal in
Ballet Gloria from 2004-2006. She also performed with the Oak Ridge
Civic Ballet Association during those formative years. Ever the

taught advanced classes with Circle Modern Dance, while further
working with the mentally challenged at Sunshine Industries Megan now lives in New York and has worked with Mark Lamb Dance as a collaborator and dancer for four years.

There are several notable strands to Megan Ward’s artistry. With her
strong ballet background, she is technically proficient in a
variety of dance styles, which she uses for her choreography. This is evident in her sidecareer, as a noted proponent of urban tribal belly-dancing, (a moderngloss on the Middle Eastern tradition). Beyond that, Megan is highly theatrical. She is an actor of the old school. " Vixenish" and youthful, Megan imparts both humor and drama within the structures
of modern dance.

Her ongoing goal is finding her unique artistic voice within
a variety of artistic disciplines. She has a passion for collaborating with artists of all styles and is most pleased to be working with Marjolayne Auger.
