Complex yet simple.
Seeing yet seen.

Welcome NEW TO HARVEST, Francesca Baron!

Enchanted about dance as a sustainable physical practice, Francesca Baron, mfa delights to be in conversation with/in movement + dance-making alongside students, collaborators and communities. In the past decade she has produced original work that has been presented at academic institutions, festivals, self-produced shows, film festivals, art galleries, weddings and on dance companies, studios and competition stages across the Midwest and New England. She has lectured and set work at: Keene State College, Smith College, Amherst College, Kenyon College, Lindenwood University. Her current creative kindling is composited by attentional states, subtlety, soft-vigor, kinetics and somatics. Francesca works out of Western Massachusetts and Chicago.
