Ahlan Wa Sahlan, Bienvenidos, and
Welcome …
Fuzión Dance Artists
reveals, celebrates, and honors the human experience through the expressive
art of dance.
Thank you for visiting our website. Fuzión Dance Artists has been hailed as Sarasota’s
1st Contemporary Dance Company, and was founded by Directors Leymis Bolaños Wilmott and Rachael Inman. The two collaborate with
professionals and other artists to create art that expresses the
desires and struggles of the human spirit. Working in community
settings, Wilmott and Inman aim to provide a
safe environment for expression of ideas. After two successful seasons with
full –length concerts at the Historic Asolo Theater as well as a collaboration at the Historic Asolo Theater at the John and Mable Ringling Museum, inspired by the Cuban
Art Exhibit, the company is still in the midst of its season bringing
their artistic voice to the southeast. The company works year round offering in school performances,
master classes, weekly dance classes, as well as building partnerships
with local art and community organizations. SalOm, a
community peace project, first produced in an intimate setting at the Backlot Theatre sponsored by the Upper Manhattan
Arts Project, has performed the critically acclaimed original
composition “In Search of Peace” by polyartist,
Francis Schwartz. As co-artistic
directors we are inspired to choreograph works that fulfill our vision
to create eclectic performances through the blending of world dance
forms with modern dance and collaborating with other artists. This year we have been blessed to
bring in renown choreographer Gerri Houlihan and emerging artist, Jennifer Maecker. Other highlights have been the establishment of Fuzión2, a
student based company, and to keep the momentum going, we will present
a full-length aerial fabric piece for the 2009 season as well as bring
two new choreographers to work with the company. We are currently seeking funding to
finish the aerial work as well as present other choreographers’
works. We are excited about the future of the company and the talented
dancers with whom we are currently working. “A
heart at peace gives life to the body…” (Proverbs 14:30).
Fuzión is in a growth spurt with our Board of Directors who are artists, scholars, and
educators living in various communities. The company is currently based
in Sarasota/Bradenton and made up of talented local Dancers. The company also works with
seasonal dancers that are located through out the country and work on a
project basis.
SRQ Premiere Magazine* has teamed up with Fuzión Dance Artists' Artistic Director Leymis Bolaños Wilmott and inspired her to create a new dance
based on 6 current, social topics that are "the talk of the
town" in our community. Wilmott is
collaborating again with local composer Edward Cosla to create an original score for this exciting company piece.
The work will be premiered at the Sarasota Opera Theater on September
27th and will also be a part of Fuzión's season concert at the Historic Asolo Theater
January 9 - 11, 2009.
* Pick up a September issue of SRQ Premiere Magazine to see 5 page layout of the company
members in action and the "Hot Topics" that everyone will be
talking about!!
