I put Elsie Management together 30 years ago to represent contemporary dance companies at APAP (Association of Performing Arts Professionals). I never imagined I would be celebrating decades in the field with an international roster representing performance genres, cultural legacies and forms I could not envision.
I am overjoyed!
I came to this work as a dancer; for me it has always been about bodies in space. Now, it is about heartwrenching poetic stories, catharsis, and profound engagement with completely unexpected forms.
It is a privilege and an honor to represent the artists we work for. We are blissfully immersed in their creative worlds, finding hope, truth and power through unforgettable experiences. Humbled by their work, we are driven to share their visions with audiences across the globe.
We salute artists for the lens they provide into unknown worlds. Elsie Management invites you to explore these new worlds with us – and with your audiences!
