Choreographer/composer Tatyana Tenenbaum employs breath, voice, fascia, and musculature to excavate spaces of memory, power, and transformation. Her work sits at the juncture of experimental music and dance and has been commissioned and presented by The Chocolate Factory Theater, Movement Research, Danspace Project, Temple University (Philly), School for Contemporary Dance & Thought (Northampton, MA), and Pliegues y Despliegues festival in (Bogotá, Colombia). She has performed with and learned from Yoshiko Chuma & the School of Hard Knocks, Daria Faïn and Robert Kocik, Jennifer Monson/iLAND, Emily Johnson/CATALYST, Hadar Ahuvia, and Okwui Okpokwasili & Peter Born, among others. Tatyana was a 2022 Artist-in-Residence at ISSUE Project Room, and a co-recipient with Hadar Ahuvia of a 2021 New Jewish Culture Fellowship. She sees her multidisciplinary work within a lineage of musical theater; a cultural site of assimilation, invention, violence, and resiliency for her Jewish ancestors who settled in New York City/Lenapehoking.
