Artistic Style
While striving to impact our culture with excellent work 6D uses relatable elements to unlock the exploration of the human condition that provokes an enrichment of the soul. Incorporating professionally trained dancers, actors, musicians, and those with disabilities 6D brings a grounded, technical, edgy, uplifting, full-bodied show to each audience challenging them to look past the status quo and see beauty. As a contemporary dance company 6D threads Biblical scripture into a style that is a fusion of "free-flow" modern, ballet lines, and punchy jazz, creating unbound raw energy fueled by seamless grace. Their juxtaposition of a simplistic and complex movement vocabulary pulsates each piece into rapid happenings that birth exquisite reflections.
History
Lyndee Breece, April Cunningham and Jen Rowse founded 6th Day Dance in 2001. These three founders shared the same vision for reclaiming the art of dance to educate, encourage, provide hope and impact others in a positive way. The company achieved non profit status in March of 2005, and continues to strive for creative excellence through the use of dance. 6th Day focuses its mission on producing and performing dance concerts, providing community outreach to at-risk youth and disadvantaged individuals, and providing excellence in dance education through the 6th Day Dance Apprentice Program.
