Podcast: Angie Hauser

Good Choices | A Holistic Conversation about Dance, Art & Life with Sabine Parzer

Angie Hauser is a BESSIE award-winning performer, choreographer, and director with training in modern and postmodern dance, ballet, and contact improvisation. Angie Hauser’s research focuses on the creation and performance of dances for the stage, and it is grounded in the interrogation and practice of movement, improvisation, and collaboration. Known as a bold performer who mixes set choreography and improvisation with personal history, she is described by The New Yorker as “a tremendous performer … who brings everything she has ever known about dance to the stage in a moment.”

Hauser is a long-time collaborator with the celebrated Bebe Miller Company. As a principal collaborator, she has contributed to the repertory as a dancer, performer, writer, and choreographic collaborator since 2000. Her work with the company is featured on TWO: an online score for Motion Bank/The Forsythe Company, and in two e-books How Dancing is Built: The Making of In A Rhythm and Dance Fort: A History. As part of the DanceMotion USA program, Hauser traveled to Peru and Colombia with Bebe Miller Company to share creative work and thinking with local communities, fostering dialogue around the human condition and exploring the subtext that our bodies reveal. Hauser has created performances with dance artist Chris Aiken since 2003. The two are Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellows for Choreography. They have toured their work extensively abroad, including projects in Hong Kong, Taipei, Japan, Germany, and Moldova. Some of Hauser’s other choreographic projects include collaborations with dance artists Jennifer Nugent, Darrell Jones, Alex Springer + Xan Burley, and musicians Mike Vargas, Jesse Manno, Tigger Benford, and Andre Gribou. She is a professor of dance at Smith College where she directs the M.F.A. program in Dance. Hauser danced with the companies of Elizabeth Streb, Liz Lerman, and Poppo Shiriashi, and taught on the faculty at Cornell University, Denison University, and Columbia College.

"Good Choices - A holistic conversation about dance, art & life with Sabine Parzer" is a podcast series in which we invite professionals of the dance and art world as well as related fields to speak about the choices that they make, artistically, personally, ecologically, politically and spiritually. How do these choices effect and inspire them in their work, their physical and mental health, their family lives, the communities that they live in? The questions we ask look toward the interrelation of life and art, how seemingly small (or big) choices may influence, enhance or even contradict the flow of life.

Sabine Parzer is head and founder of the Holistic Dance Institute, an internationally well known teacher of Contemporary Dance, Contact improvisation and Authentic Movement. She has been professionally active as a dancer, choreographer, teacher, dance- and body therapist for more than 30 years in the USA, Europe, Russia, Brazil and Israel.
