April Sellers Dance Collective

April Sellers Dance Collective - WHO ARE WE? 

Through the creation process, the performers and choreographer of the April Sellers Dance Collective become collaborators. Each performance is crafted through community outreach, arduous research, and introspection. With the tender hearts of anarchists, ASDC looks at life’s most extreme moments with humor and offers alternative pathways

Formed by April Sellers in 2002, the April Sellers Dance Collective (ASDC) is nationally recognized for their gender-bending, highly crafted dance performances.  Led by Sellers’ choreography and fueled with dance craft, controlled bedlam and superb comedic chops, ASDC’s work has long explored sexual identity in a binary world (Jousting, 2014 and In Her Place, 2000), queer feminism (Big Baby, 2014 and Double Drag, 2015), rituals of loss (Unveiling Grace), and the body’s vulnerability (The V Project, 2007). ASDC lifts and celebrates ignored streams in society by challenging political, social, and cultural realities including power, patriarchy, and the gender binary.
