Known for riotously complex dance works that are at once vulnerable, feisty and witty, Canadian-born Aszure Barton is one of the world's hottest contemporary choreographers. She founded Aszure Barton & Artists in 2002 and has performed and created all over the globe: this season she has been commissioned by both American Ballet Theatre and the National Ballet of Canada. Barton is currently Artist-In-Residence at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in New York, where she has created work for (and performs with) Baryshnikov's new company Hell's Kitchen Dance. Barton brings her company of nine superlative dancers to Vancouver as part of the Chutzpah! Festival for a glorious evening of works from her repertoire.
The brilliant New York-based Barton produces delectable works that are quirky, deep, cheeky, and poignant. Her quicksilver, unpredictable movement always astonishes the eye. The Globe and Mail
