SYREN Modern Dance

SYREN Modern Dance is a New York City based company performing in Manhattan and the outer boroughs.  Now in its 15th Season, SYREN is impassioned to explore, connect, and to seek and share knowledge through the art of dance.  Sephardic Jewish history, gender and sexual identities, and quantum mechanics are examples of topics that have been investigated.   Upon completion, SYREN continues the life of each dance by then bringing each dance into the communities from which the company drew inspiration.  Content from "Abravanel" was brought to Washington Hebrew Congregation in Washington DC, "Dolce" was brought to an urban high school in Hartford, and "Red and Blue, Bitter and Sweet" was shared with the Society of Physics Students at NYU.  In New York City, SYREN has been presented by Gibney Dance Center, Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity, Green Space, Riverside Theatre, Symphony Space, 92ND Street Y, Children’s Museum of Manhattan, Dance Theater Workshop, Dixon Place, Queens Theatre in the Park, JCC of Manhattan, 92Y Tribeca, Le Poisson Rouge, d.u.m.b.o.
