Dani Brown

D.O.B 03/02/80

Dani Brown was born and raised in Rochester, NY, a place of cultural, social, and economic, curiosity / crisis / conflict / and hope. Upon completing high school Dani drove cross-country to live in the dessert above Albuquerque, NM, there she was an initiator of the sidewalk performance group known notoriously by the local police as SHHHHH! She completed her freshman and sophomore years at Virginia Commonwealth University (located in the bible belt, Richmond, VA “capital of the south”) in the dept. of Dance and Choreography. Bush was elected and she moved to the mountains of Virginia with a bunch of close friends where she was a guest artist with the Zen Monkey Project. Life was good and simple in the mountains, she had a big white house with a porch swing, and the weather was great… Too great, she decided to move to Europe to be cold and poor. After various, shall we say, cultural exchanges Dani finished her BDa, specialization Dance Maker at the ArtEZ, College of Art in Arnhem, NL (former European Dance Development Centre).
Dani helped to co-found FINGERSIX, a network of five artists, HYPERLINK "http://www.fingersix.com" www.fingersix.com. She is busy promoting her latest productions, The Invitation and IT’S GONNA BLOW (co-directed with f6 partner Marta Navaridas) and Body Swap (co-directed with Singaporian choreographer Joavien Ng). Each premiered at Kampnagel respectively 2008, 2010, and 2009! As well Dani is busy teaching (K3- Zentrum für Choreographie, Hamburg), working in Europe as dramaturg, and performing internationally for Magga Bjarnadottir (IS) + Antje Pfundter (DE) + the Japanese clothing label COSMIC WONDER.
