Blaze Ferrer is an interdisciplinary performer and choreographer interested in the mainstreaming of queerness within the American capitalist hegemony, and pushing the tautological stasis of contemporary performance. Blaze makes experiences that express the vibrancy and limits of embodiment through post-Judson choreographic scores and the incorporation of consumerist cultural iconography. As a lead artist, Blaze has made work for Pioneers Go East, Pageant, The Collapsable Hole, Prelude Festival, The Brick Theater, The Exponential Festival, Movement Research@Judson Church, Sundays on Broadway, New Dance Alliance, AUNTS, danceh0l0, Brooklyn Arts Exchange (NEEDING IT), HERE, Dixon Place, and various DIY events. Blaze has performed for and helped generate pieces with Stacy Lynn Smith, Yanira Castro, Ursula Eagly, Ilan Bachrach & Robert M. Johanson, minor theater, Sophie Weisskoff, and others. Blaze has received funding through Brooklyn Arts Council, NYSCA, NYFA, Dance/NYC, and Foundation for Contemporary Arts.
