Letter 101
Complexions dance company was founded in 1994 with artist directors Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson. The company shows an artistic and aesthetic appeal for the multicultural forms and reinventing dance. It uses groundbreaking methods, styles and cultures to create a new and fresh vision that is presented in an exciting and vibrant way. The company believes that dance should be removing boundaries. Combing the old with the new and allowing dance to evolve and keep up wit the modern times that we live in. Traditions of a single style, period, venue or culture are transcended by complexions and opens a continually evolving form of dance. This therefore reflects the movement of the world.
Classical ballet is a very rigid form of dance that has specific views on technique, music and body type. Complexions broke out of these boundaries and applied more to these original rules. They allowed different body shapes to be accepted, they used more modern and new music and introduced new techniques and styles of dancing. By combing the two methods, an extraordinary product was produced.
I think that this company is a revelation and introduces a different look to dance today. The technique is still strict and the dancers are the best of the best, but as an audience I feel that it appeals to a wider variety of people and is considered more ‘interesting’ on a wider basis. As a dancer I love the music and modern feel to the moves that are used. You can still tell a story while dancing without it having to be a full three hour ballet it can be compacted into a two minute dance. Partnering is used as it is in classical ballet, but you are able to create more contemporary lines and respond to the music in a more intense and creative way. The way the company is presenting itself is very positive and is working well for them. They are confident with what they do so they have portrayed themselves very well and other companies have began to change there ways because of this.

Brand
Complextions dance company directed by The Company
Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson:
A world renouned dance company that pushes the boundries of the contemporary dance form. The music and choreography used is different to any other and promotes a modern and young vibe with techinically perfect dancers that display a clear passion and love for the business.
It is a very hard profession, physically and mentally but over all it is very rewarding and all the work and pain that is put into it pays off when it is time to perform. This company promotes the best of the best dancers and is always using new music and costumes and group dance formats that capture your eye and really draw you in as an audience. The company's formost innovation is that dance should be about removing boundries, not reinforcing them.
Whether it be the limiting traditions of a single style, period, venue, or culture, Complexions transcends them all, creating an open, continually evolving form of dance that reflects the movement of our world—and all its constituent cultures—as an interrelated whole.
