ABOUT THE COMPANY
Adele Myers and Dancers (AMD) is a Miami based nationally recognized dance theater company made up of athletes of the heart who perform the company’s signature style blending robust athleticism with personal theatricality.
“I have never felt so close to someone else’s art.” ~Blanche Boyd, American Novelist
Since 2010, the company has received development and touring support for several multi- disciplinary evening-length projects from national funding organizations including New England Foundation of the Arts (2010), National Dance Project Production Grant (2013), and the National Performance Network (2015). Since relocating its home base from the northeast to Miami in 2015, AMD received commissions for new work from the Miami Light Project/Here and Now (2018) and MDC Live Arts/LALA Residency (2019). From 2020-2022, AMD was a commissioned company-in-residence at the The Moss Center where the company developed T.W.I.S.T (These Women in Space and Time) with additional support from a 2021 National Dance Project Production grant and from The Yard who is a co-commissioning partner. With support from the NCC Akron Satellite Residency program, and in partnership with The Moss, AMD hosted TWISTalks, a series of facilitated virtual gatherings of women nationwide who share, listen, laugh, and twist against disempowerment.
“…a serious message of the plight of women with a little tongue-and-cheek humor.” ~Cameron Basden, Miamiartzine
The company recently launched the two-year development of a new dance theater project, a world gone FABULOUS commissioned and presented by Miami Light Project (MLP). The new project will premiere at MLP in 2026 and will also be presented by Opening Nights at Florida State University. Opening Nights is also a co-commissioner of the project.
“…Myers can indeed shape an onstage world.” ~Roslyn Sulcas, NY Times
In 2021, AMD launched Miami DanceMakers, an annual six-month professional development program that supports local dance makers at early stages of their careers by offering a stipend, mentorship and networking and performance opportunities.
