KITCHEN DANCES

In 2023 Ballet Co. Laboratory premiered “Kitchen Dances.” Set to an array of contemporary and classical music, the piece centered around the kitchen- the heart of the home and featured an exact replica of the Frankfurt Kitchen.

TIME WITHIN A TIME

Created on American Repertory Ballet and set to the music of Fleetwood Mac, this semi-biographical piece centered around founding Fleetwood Mac member Peter Green and “community” as a whole.

CRASH TEST DUMMY

I am honored to have received the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus First of May Award to support the creation of a new one woman show exploring life as a female in a male dominant society. Stay tuned for more info…

KAATSBAAN

I created a sight-specific piece at the Kaatsbaan Cultural Park in Tivoli, NY. The piece incorporated elements of dance, clown, circus arts and live music by the Ávila Ensemble. The cast included Kyle Driggs and Andrea Murillo, Jeff Seal, and Tyler West.

What People Are Saying:

“Familiar with Davison’s work, I am always happy to see her name on a program. Davison is unafraid of humor and opens to riding any inspiration that floats her way (I once saw a piece in which she was inspired by a beach towel). Using non-conventional connections, a foot lifting a head, a cheek resting in a palm, her humor is subtle yet refined and always nestled ever so nicely in the music.” – Nadia Vostrikov, The Dance Harold 

“Davison’s athletic approach to movement created a sense of excitement. But what was even more exciting were the quiet moments. More than any other, this piece showed off the company’s ability to move- and breathe as one.” -Christina Pandolfi, Broadway World

“‘Time Within A Time’ may have been the best of the bunch because Davison, who has considerable ballet performing background but less choreographic experience than the others, chose a tougher road to hoe and succeeded with it.” – Jerry Hochman, Critical Dance 

“Claire Davison, another corps member, exposes underused reserves of charm and imagination in her short movie. Borrowing the aesthetic of silent film, she helps the artists in her apartment building get back in touch with their dreams.” -Brian Seibert, The New York Times
