ABOUT RYDERDANCE
Established in 2018 by Artistic Director Jordan Ryder, RyderDance is a performance based contemporary dance collective. RyderDance actively works to expand the reach and accessibility of contemporary dance works by exploring new audiences and mediums to nurture the life of live performance art. Jordan believes that movement can be expansive, exhilarating and personal all at once and that is something that the company shares and celebrates in every stride.
The Collective's work has been presented at dozens of venues across the tri-state area, including the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Dixon Place, The Loew's Jersey Theatre, Mark Morris Dance Center, and the Martha Graham Studio Theater, to name a few. Most recently, the Company had a sold out run of HOMECOMING, an original RyderDance production presented by the Tank Theater in Manhattan.
RyderDance's dance practice is inspired by the combination and juxtaposition of the natural human experience with humans’ physical and athletic capabilities. The work contrasts emotions with raw movement, left brain with right, and pushes the limitations of instinct. The collision of these differing forces is the root of the Collective's motivation to move, create, and grow.
