Amy Seiwert enjoyed a nineteen-year performing career dancing with Smuin, Los Angeles Chamber, and Sacramento Ballets. As a dancer with Smuin, she became involved with the \u201c<\/span>Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Program,\u201d with Michael Smuin serving as her mentor. She was Choreographer in Residence with that company upon her retirement from dancing in 2008 until 2018. She is the recipient of numerous choreographic awards, including a \u201cGoldie<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u201d award from the San Francisco Bay Guardian, which described Seiwert as the Bay Area’s most original dance thinker, \u201c<\/span>taking what some consider a dead language and using it with a 21st-century lingo to tell us something about who we are.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

In 2017 Seiwert\u2019<\/span>s first full-evening work Wandering<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/em>, set to Schubert\u2019<\/span>s Winterreise<\/i>, was commissioned by the Joyce Theater in New York. She has been an Artist in Residence at ODC Theater and on the Artist Faculty for Jacob\u2019<\/span>s Pillow\u2019<\/span>s Contemporary Ballet program. Seiwert\u2019<\/span>s works have also been supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Her creations are in the repertory of her own company, Imagery, as well as Smuin, ODC\/Dance, Ballet Austin,\u00a0Opera Parall\u00e8le, AXIS Dance,\u00a0Atlanta, Washington, Cincinnati, Colorado, Louisville, Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Oakland Ballets.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
