Stefanie Batten Bland

Stefanie Batten Bland adds to Mary Batten and Ed Bland’s artistic legacy of writing and music with her own layer of dance. 

Recognized as a 2010-12 Baryshnikov Arts Center Artist in Residence and a Jerome Robbins “NEW Fellow,” and a 2011/12 Cambridge Who’s Who! of Professionals and Entrepreneurs, she has danced for Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Pal Frenak, Georges Momboye, Pina Bausch Tanz Theater Wuppertal, Lar Lubovitch, Julie Taymor and Angelin Preljocaj, among others.

SBB created Company Stefanie Batten Bland in 2008 in France so that she might better investigate the human condition and our relationship within the natural world. Her works are based in dance, with a strong instillation component which allows futuristic worlds to take place in space and time.

The troupe has performed live and via dance cinema, throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the States. 

SBB has pieces on Ailey ll, Danceland of Singapore, Zenon Dance Company of Minneapolis and is currently guest choreographer for Transitions Dance Company of London.
