We Dance When Ice Gets Thin

Alive Dance Collective is a company of contemporary dancers from the Boston area. The company meets regularly to create choreography for various performances, festivals, and just for fun! Alive strives to present choreography that is original, creative, and that audiences can connect to on a profound and personal level. When creating work, Alive truly functions as a collective; every dancer's input is valuable. Through contemporary movement, we tell stories about our own life experiences and support each other’s journeys.

Alive Dance Collective

Alive Dance Collective has been dancing in festivals and shows throughout Massachusetts and beyond since its conception in 2014. The thought of doing our own show has always been in the back of our minds. A bridge in a Matt Nathanson song described in a new way why Alive dances: “We’re more than what scares us/We’re final and fearless/We dance when the ice gets thin.” Suddenly, all of our work seemed to fit under one heading and the thought of actually putting on a show seemed possible! We Dance When Ice Gets Thin will aim to put together all of Alive’s work that helps us express when and why we dance: we dance to feel connected, safe, and alive. We dance for well-being. We dance when the ice gets thin. Dance helps us to work through those moments where it feels like the ice will not support us. We rely on each other and on dance to be that support instead. 
Alive Dance Collective, along with guest artists Nozama Dance Collective, Sasso & Co, The D'Amby Project, Evolve Dynamicz, and George and Heather Woods will present material that show how the arts help us to support ourselves and one another in wellness. One third of the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Artrelief, an organization in Watertown, Massachusetts that provides expressive art therapies to many individuals.
