Biba Bell is a dancer/artist/scholar. She likes to consider encounters between people, objects and spaces as folding interstices between strands of choreography and improvisation, both in the studio and out. 2008 highlights thus far include a week of dancing in Marfa, TX, performing with musician Jandek, participating in Into the Folds (workshop with Dr. Erin Manning and Brian Massumi), and curating Collision (a performance series in the Mission Creek Music Festival/SF). Biba is a PhD candidate in Performance Studies at NYU, working under the mentorship of André Lepecki. As a dancer she has worked with Jmy Leary, Nancy Garcia, Mel Wong, Joshua Zimmermann, Kathleen Hermesdorf, Hope Mohr, David Hurwith, Kaya Nati, and her sister Gelsey Bell. She makes work under the moniker URISOV and has been involved with AUNTS and Modern Garage Movement (MGM) since 2004. Biba plays harmonium in two bands: ((Secret Magic)) and The Eternal Church of Sex.
