BODYTRAFFIC
BODYTRAFFIC bursts with “invention, attitude and urban edge” (The Boston Globe) and “sheer animal magnetism” (San Francisco Weekly). Founded in 2007 by Lillian Rose Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett, BODYTRAFFIC has surged to the forefront of the concert dance world, recruiting great talent from around the globe to create world-class contemporary dance by distinctive choreographic voices.
The company was named “the company of the future” by The New York Times, and “one of the most talked-about young companies, not just in L.A but nationwide“ by the Los Angeles Times. BODYTRAFFIC’s growing repertory includes master works by international choreographic superstars. The company is known for its emotionally charged and technically virtuosic dancers, who aim to touch, inspire and entertain audiences throughout the world.
Through performance, education, and outreach, BODYTRAFFIC has shared its love of dance throughout the world. In 2015, BODYTRAFFIC was selected by the Obama Administration to be cultural ambassadors for the United States via DanceMotion USA℠, a dynamic cultural diplomacy program that supports United States foreign policy goals by engaging international audiences through educational opportunities, cultural exchange, and performance. BODYTRAFFIC has since served as cultural ambassadors for the United States in South Korea (2016) and Algeria (2017, 2018).
