Micaela Gardner has lived and danced in the bay Area since 1985. She trained classically all over the Southwest from the age of seven. At seventeen she moved to San Francisco to study Modern and found herself instead consumed almost entirely with Afro-Haitian for four years. At the same time she began to make and perform her own hybrid dances laced with the austerity and darkness discovered in Butoh workshops and performances she attended. Since then she has developed and taught what she refers to as Post Modern. She has directed the Temescal Arts Center for at least eight years. |
