Description:
EcoDance is a building project launched by choreographer, Hallie Aldrich, and interdisciplinary artist, Sarah Haas. The two have joined forces to build artist-specific, eco-friendly mobile Performance dwellings through a collaborative process of inquiry and experimentation that addresses practical issues in performance, architecture, and ecology. EcoDance built models for Incite Company and Sarah Haas. Their individual experiences are detailed on separate pages. To learn about Aldrich's building process, please click here.

Plan:
The EcoDance research, collecting, and networking phases began January, 2011. Aldrich and Haas worked through collaborative and individuated designs and processes toward the completion of two mobile performance dwellings, or EcoMobiles. Read more...
Mission:
EcoDance fosters inquiry through creative cultural exchange and provides freedom from the obstacles faced by movement artists today. The dwellings lower artist expenses by providing permanent accessibility to space. This savings extends to the public in the form of lower ticket prices and more performance events. Dwellings serve as a facilitation space for collaborative workshops, creative activities and community events.
Eco:
Within this process is a consideration for environmental impact designs, such as solar energy for electricity and hot water, rooftop rainwater reservoirs, and collecting reclaimed/recycled material from the community; converting our trucks to biodiesel further appeals to our environmental consciousness.
