www.bmdc.org

BMD energizes broadly diverse audiences with inventive and vibrant choreography – a fusion of contemporary and classical techniques set to a sweeping range of musical styles. Showcasing McCauley’s choreography, our award-winning company is renowned for its spirited dancers, use of live music, the professionalism of its dance performances and its extraordinary outreach programs for socio-economically diverse communities.

“Before we even start talking about how good the dancing was at Bowen McCauley Dance’s 15th anniversary gala Saturday night, we have to talk about how good it was that this local company was able to perform at The Kennedy Center’s Terrace Theater, with live musicians, before a sold-out audience. That was awesome.”
- The Washington Post

Touring Programs

The current tour includes Telemetry, Ozone, Lucy’s Playlist, ReSuitened, and Apostasis.

Telemetry – This hard pulsing, electrifying, large ensemble work takes audiences on a wild ride, punctuated with allusions to some of the seedier sides of life.

Ozone - a major new work for the entire Company is set to original music by renowned American composer Larry Alan Smith for cello, flute and voice, and inspired by Rita Dove’s poem by the same name. Ms. Dove, a Pulitzer Prize winning former poet laureate of the United States is the youngest person and first African-American to receive this highest official honor in American letters. On tour, the poem can be recited by a member of the community.

Lucy’s Playlist – This Company work brings ‘80’s pop and rock tunes to life with an amped up performance. The energy is infectious!

ReSuitened - This lovely quartet is a new collaboration between Lucy Bowen McCauley and NSO cellist Yvonne Caruthers, who has created a special arrangement of Bach cello suites.

Apostasis - This male solo set to glorious piano music by Michael White, showcases the grace, charisma, and athleticism of the featured dancer.
