Boulé premiers her trio, White, an inquiry “…Referencing quantum physics and BioGeometry…[that] investigates the non-localized resonance of movement and the ability of consciousness to collapse matter into momentary potential,” notes the release. White is performed by Boulé with Lauren Bakst and Lindsay Clark, and features original music by composer Chris Seeds, costumes designed by Reid Bartelme, and lighting designed by Natalie Robin.
"When Ms. Boulé is onstage, it's hard to take your eyes off of her..." (Siobhan Burke, New York Times)
"My work as a dance artist stems directly from an exploration of the body-what information it holds and conveys and how this relates to a cultural landscape," explains Boulé, a certified BodyTalk practitioner who has explored eastern and western views on somatics, healing, and the physical expression of consciousness.
