MISSION Statement
GREYZONE is a performance project that blends dance, visual arts, and time-based media. Producing works for film and stage, the project uncovers non-narrative theatricality and highlights the rituals embedded in dance training and performance. GREYZONE’s process explores how we can both honor and ask questions of Western dance histories. GREYZONE was founded by and is under the direction of Lindy Fines and Justin Fines.
ABOUT GREYZONE
Lindy Fines is choreographer and artistic director of GREYZONE, a NYC-based multimedia dance project that she co-founded with creative director Justin Fines. GREYZONE creates collaborative works for stage and film that explore movement through experimental systems and collective research. Lindy approaches the body as a living archive, holding technique, memory, history, and possibility. With GREYZONE, Lindy is a NYFA Fellow in Choreography through New York Foundation for the Arts. She has been awarded grants from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), Foundation for Contemporary Arts, Harkness Center for Dance, and New Music USA.
Last summer, GREYZONE traveled to Germany performing at Gallus Theater in Frankfurt, and Apricot Production’s ROOTED Festival in Berlin. Her work has been presented nationally at the 92nd St Y, Movement Research at the Judson Church, Abrons Arts Center (Performance Mix Festival), Oklahoma International Dance Festival, Nevada Museum of Art, Socrates Sculpture Park, Brooklyn Ballet and others. This January, she performed in the historic reconstruction of Richard Foreman’s What to Wear at Brooklyn Academy of Music, under the creative direction of Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar of Big Dance Theater.
