DANCEBUMS DANCE IS A FOUR WEEK RESIDENCY JAM-PACKED WITH MUSIC, DANCE, AND PERFORMANCE. JOINED BY KEYBOARDIST/VOCALIST ERIC MAYSON AND PERCUSSIONIST TOBY RAMASWAMY, DANCEBUMS IS A BAND THAT MAKES DANCES - A CROWD PLEASING PERFORMANCE IMBUED WITH HUMOR, GROOVE, EXERTION, AND EXTREME BLISS. EACH WEEK FOCUSES ON A FACET OF DANCEBUM-NESS, WITH AN ALL STAR LINE UP TO MATCH.
DANCEBUMS
DaNCEBUMS is a group of five making dance collaboratively and non-hierarchically in Minneapolis. Dubbed the best dance party in town, their work straddles the arty and the party as they knowingly move between precise technique and casual pop sensibility. In a search for radical joy, they embrace the awkward, conjure nostalgia, and contemplate bright futures. Their crowd-pleasing performance is imbued with humor, groove, exertion, and extreme bliss.
Margaret Johnson, Kara Motta, Eben Kowler, Maggie Zepp, and Karen McMenamy met as students in the University of Minnesotas dance department, and have collaborated in various configurations since 2011. Tightly bonded by friendship, they lived together at 601 Broadway St NE. During their two-year residency in this home, they produced a trio of original dance-rock-operas in their single-car garage. Since 2013, DaNCEBUMS has been performing thoughtful and provocative dance work in the Twin Cities. Their collaboration is based on mutual love and respect for each other, systems of support, and togetherness. They have presented work at the Walker Art Center (One-Move-Dance), Red Eye Theater (New Works 4 Weeks 2014, 2015), The Southern Theater, and the Bryant Lake Bowl (WOW, in collaboration with 6ix Families). Their webseries, moves4u2do, allows fans to take their choreography off the stage and into their lives with simple instructional videos.
Currently, DaNCEBUMS is realizing their dream of becoming a dance band - taking their work out of the theater and into bars, music venues, and parties. Joined by keyboardist/vocalist Eric Mayson, and percussionist Toby Ramaswamy, they have performed at 7th St Entry, ICEHOUSE, Kitty Cat Klub, Public Functionary,The Swedish Institute, and on live television as part of TPTs Takeover Series.
