Described as “anything but conventional” by Dance Magazine, Teddy Tedholm creates work that pushes boundaries. Teddy’s wide-ranging background helps inform his unique movement style. Over his career he has worked with Sidra Bell, Douglas Becker, Kate Sicchio, Netta Yerushalmy, Curt Haworth, Erica Sobol, and Emily Shock. On top of these influences he was a participant in the Doug Varone DEVICES Choreographic Intensive in 2017.
A graduate of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Teddy has presented work throughout North America. In addition to a nomination for a World Dance Award in the Best Choreography Concert/Live Performance category, Teddy has been a finalist in the McCallum Theater Choreography Festival, the REVERB dance festival, and a two-time finalist in the Capezio ACE Awards. He believes that the creation of art can be a valuable research method, a concept that propels his work forever forward and also makes him a highly sought after instructor. Though having taught workshops and set work all over the world, he enjoys returning to New York where he directs tedted Performance Group. This group of multi-faceted artists has performed throughout New York City transforming spaces from living rooms to riversides into fully developed performances to great acclaim. Between performances around the city he can be found teaching as a faculty member of Broadway Dance Center and Peridance
PROGRAMME NOTES
Comedy of Terrors explores the large (and often overwhelming) looming threats and fears that human beings live with in the 21st Century. By pulling apart large ideas like nuclear war, pollution, and climate change in to abstract ideas and vignettes "Comedy of Terrors" delves deep into a dance-theatre world of absurdist dark humor.
