Eleanor Bauer on dance’s relationship to the future, departing from her recent piece Midday and Eternity (2013)

Eleanor Bauer is an American dancer and choreographer living and working in Brussels. She studied at the Tisch School of Arts (NY) and P.A.R.T.S. Her shows ELEANOR !, At large and (BIG GIRLS DO BIG THINGS) have been generously welcomed by dance critics and toured in many countries. Midday and Eternity (the time piece, 2013) is the closing piece of a trilogy on the past-present-future, that started with the sextet A Dance for the Newest Age (the triangle piece) (2011), and was followed by Tentative Assembly (the tent piece, 2012), a piece for 9 dancers. The Midday that opens up to Eternity is the center of a daily dance practice that connects at once past, present and future, and generates continuously new futures in its engagement with the present. Eleanor Bauer is one of the most inventive performers in the landscape of dance.
