Josie Bettman is a choreographer and performing artist who practices dance-making as a mode of both self-generation and interpersonal relation. Since 2019, she has developed a series of solo performances in an 8x10ft room that visualize transformation through extremes of scale, repetition, and effort, performing these solos at venues such as Bronx Academy of Art and Dance; Junior High, Los Angeles; The Living Gallery, Bushwick; and ING Studio, Ridgewood. She also works jointly with Lavinia E. Bruce as SECT, inc., and has collaborated as a performer in works by Phoebe Berglund, Milka Djordevich, and Amelia Heintzelman/Leah Fournier. She often fantasizes about NCPDME, Newtown Creek’s as-yet-unrealized performance ensemble-in-residence.
