About the Choreographers


alma Collective
Performing “Co(n)razon”  
Choreography by Bianca Dam & Kat Bark

Alma is a New York City based collective co-directed by Bianca Dam and Kat Bark. We want to create a space where movement feels instinctive and vulnerable. As alma, we aspire to share the passion, love, and freedom we feel while moving. We wish to create dance for all eyes, and evolve as humans with our audience. Alma is a rediscovery of our “gut” as dancers, leading with raw sentiment.
