Hollis Bartlett + Nattie Trogdon are Brooklyn-based choreographers, performers, practitioners, and partners. They create dance works and research based practices around rigor and repetition, ghosts and vessels, weight (and wait), objectivity and subjectivity, their shared lineage and embodied relationship.
Their works have been presented at Gibney (Work Up Artists 5.0), Duo Multicultural Arts Center, Jack Crystal Theater, FIRST LOOK at Brooklyn Ballet, No Theme Festival, School for Contemporary Dance and Thought, Exponential Festival, Stuffed at Judson Church, MAD Festival, Earthdance, ACA, Triskelion Arts, Dixon Place, Freeskewl, and The Dance Complex. They have been artists in residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts, The Dance Complex, Peaceable Barn, The Floor on Atlantic, and NYU Tisch Dance.
Their performing and teaching practices are deeply tied into their dance making. Together they've mostly notably performed for Doug Varone, David Dorfman, Keith Johnson, Brian Brooks, Angie Hauser and Chris Aiken and Kimberly Bartosik. They are currently teaching artists through Gibney Dance, Roger Williams University, and the virtual platform Freeskewl - where they curate a rotating class series around practice called Pop-Up Practice.
