Dana Michel is a mover. Her training scales tip towards athletics. Before tossing herself into dance at twenty-five, she was competitively involved in track and touch football – pivotal in her constructions. Her work has been presented extensively since 2005 including several presentations at Tangente, on Mange ta Ville – a program on ARTV (RadioCanada), at DanceOff! PS122 – New York, at The Proving Ground – Salt Lake City and at The Festival of Choreographic Miniatures – Belgrade, Serbia. A relative newcomer to contemporary dance, Dana has already been recognized for her achievements – most recently winning the jury prize for the best performance at the International Festival of Video Dance and Performance in Lisbon. “Michel is a killer soloist who tackles the warped, frenetic and fierce rhythms of her piece with precision and fiery authority” (InfiniteBody, 2007). www.bandofbless.com
