Modern dancers Berg,
Jones & Sarvis perform nationally and are known for their sardonic,
physical, and unpredictable trios. Based in Portland Maine, their large
site-specific pieces for "non-dancers" are
local legends: a piece for the mayor, police chief, and citizens, on
the steps of city halla ballet for 23 bike ridersa dance
for professional baseball players and fans performed for an audience
of 6,000. In their recent community dance project Plank,
the company works with volunteers at universities, public institutions,
or corporations, to create an action-packed dance performance event
for the groundbreaking or dedication of new buildings.
Driven by curiosity
about visual art, public spaces, and architecture, Berg Jones & Sarvis
also create performances in and around art museums; these Museum
Pieces engage audiences in new ways, and help them make active sense
of art and environments.
The trio
has vast experience teaching dance, choreography, and physical theater
in other settings such as universities, schools, and community residencies.
