VANDANCE was founded in New York City in 2002 by Valerie
Norman. The company has performed at Joyce Soho, Mulberry Street Theater, The WIlliamsburg Art and Historical Center, The
92nd St. Y, Movement Research at Judson Church and in Rochester, NY. The upcoming production of "?" in 2004
will include a collaboration with theater director Bruce Ornstein in a new work that will lead audiences to question
their perception of reality by challenging the boundaries of performance. As the experience of "?" progresses, the lines
between performance and reality become increasingly unpredictable, seemingly dangerous and ultimately awakening. To
