SHARP Dance Company, a Philadelphia based modern dance company
to present SEVEN WINDOWS
June 8, 10 & 11 at Gabriel’s Corner as part of the CincyFringe
Philadelphia, PA— SHARP’s newest performance, SEVEN WINDOWS utilizes collaborations with amazing visual artists from around the world. Based on the dream of a dancer in which she is visited by her recently departed mother, SEVEN WINDOWS looks into the world of reincarnation and moving on in the afterlife. With new choreography by Diane Sharp-Nachsin and inspired by original paintings made by: Patricia Zarate (NYC), Jill Brandwein (Italy), Danielle Hallman (Philadelphia), and Julia Salinger (Massachusetts), SEVEN WINDOWS asks the questions, “How do we know it’s time to move on?”

SHARP’s striking work investigates the gravitational support each person is able to call upon in life. A striking balance between the time to grieve and the time to be strong, SHARP’s newest work channels through the emotions and struggles of denial and acceptance to bring about a work that is highly relatable and eerily honest.
SHARP strives to bring together a company of strong dancers to perform work with a new vision. Their mission is to translate raw human emotion utilizing contemporary movement to connect the audience through individual interpretation. With a theory of “meaning behind movement”, which is shown prominently throughout their work, SHARP believes dance should be more than a performance, it should be an experience.
SHARP Dance Company is a six-member modern dance company based out of Philadelphia, PA. SHARP performs nationally and internationally and has been seen in such festivals as the: Bedfringe (UK), Chicago Fringe, Phoenix Fringe, Seacoast Fringe, Boulder Fringe, San Diego Fringe, Cool NY, STEPS Performance Lab (NY), Fringe Wilmington and the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA). Artistic Director Diane Sharp-Nachsin was also named a BAU Fellow in Italy in June 2013 and an artist residency recipient in Paros, Greece in 2015.
