Brit Falcon / Falcon Dance

My work germinates at the intersection of care and rigor, with an interest in relationality. I create highly physical, collaborative dance works that honor shared authorship and embodied research. Touch and partnering are central to my practice, offering ways to explore space, time, and sensation. I attend to the patterns and narratives that emerge in these exchanges—the small shifts of weight, the choices to yield or resist, and the stories that arise organically. I am curious about what bodies reveal and how these insights expand physical and expressive possibilities.

Visual mapping, imagery, and sound help shape the structure of my work. Diagrams, pathways, and evolving shapes allow me to track the logic of connection in real time while leaving space for dancers’ relational and somatic intelligence to guide the emotional flow. My work has been described as fiery, fluid, rhythmic, and dynamic, with organic yet unexpected pathways.
