Laura Colby founded Elsie Management in 1995 for the sole purpose of representing her contemporary dance friends and peers at the annual Arts Presenters conference – APAP. Today, Elsie Management promotes the careers of national and international performing arts companies on stages and performance opportunities across the globe. Offering a combination of management and development services, along with artist representation, Elsie Management consists of Director Laura Colby, Artist Representative Sabine Dabady, and Contracts Manager/International Artist Representative, Anna Amadei. Dedicated to developing the next generation of arts workers, we also maintain an on-going internship program. Elsie currently represents nineteen companies, artists, and projects. With its office located in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, we are members of the North American Performing Arts Managers and Agents, the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, Dance/USA, Western Arts Alliance, Dance Theater Workshop, International Society for the Performing Arts, and the International Performing Arts for Youth. We regularly attend national and international performing arts convenings.
