SOSA DANCE COMPANY

Sosa Dance Company is a very new contemporary dance company created by Ana Sosa after receiving the Eryc Taylor dance grant. The company aims to bring attention and awareness to mental illnesses by creating pieces that surround topics such as depression, mania, anxiety, anger, and despair. Ana Sosa, through the act of creation hopes to give a voice to the people who have been singled out from society by labels that can be easily misinterpreted and misrepresented. As someone who has personally struggled with Bipolar Disorder, Sosa hopes to inspire others to write, dance, sing, and express themselves through any means so they can too benefit from the creativity that comes from being different and from the wonderful outlet that is art. The company focuses on strengthening and developing the intention behind every movement that is choreographed, so that through mutual understanding and communication, the dancers can incorporate their own meaning to the choreography and performance.
