Adele Myers and Dancers, Inc. (AMD) is a Miami based not-for-profit dance theater company committed to advancing and amplifying female dance artists through process, performance, and community engagement.

For over a decade, AMD has been presented throughout the U.S. and hailed for their signature blend of robust physicality and personal theatricality performed by dynamite athletes of the heart.

While in residence at the yard, Adele Myers and Dancers will present These Women In Space and Time (T.W.I.S.T). T.W.I.S.T is a visually stunning, physically powerful, heart pounding evening-length dance theater performance and offers a variety of engaging acts of female solidarity. T.W.I.S.T is performed by five female athletes of the heart who embody Myers’ signature fusion of personal theatricality and robust physicality.

Along with T.W.I.S.T, Adele Myers and Dancers will host TWISTalks— a creative research and community engagement part of T.W.I.S.T. TWISTalks are gatherings for women to share, listen, laugh, and twist against the disempowering ways we move through the world in our daily choreographies.
