DROPSHIFT

dropshift was founded in late 2009 by Chicago based artist Andrea Cerniglia as a movement project dedicated to a collaborative and investigative studio practice and pushing the boundaries of the art form in performance. The company makes work for solo and ensemble members throughout the season and is directed by Ms. Cerniglia. Movement investigation and creation is conceived in collaboration with the dancers and is directed through an imagery based narrative in order to mine each voice of creation and allow for abstraction in performance. The company mines abstract concepts and asks questions that dissect societal structure, dynamics, and events which surround and impact us. The exploration is limitless and yields a performance to which viewers are invited to find personal connection through evocative image... dropshift has been creating and self-producing work since 2009. This work has been consistently supported by the Illinois Arts Council and the Chicago Department of Cultural..
