MADRONE MATYSIAK
Madrone Matysiak is an independent dance artist and choreographer based in Taos, New Mexico, USA. She is also a professional producer and photographer.
Madrone is interested in how the Self presents and interjects when in performance and in our daily lives. She uses a broad dynamic palette, gestures, and theater-informed composition to create works that investigate the loneliness of the stage, communication with beings whose language we do not speak, and transitions from one phase of life to another. The compositional approach informs her production and portrait photography.
She has danced with J. Garcia Dance Company, Kelsey Paschich, Vladimir Conde Reche, Amanda Hamp and AGA Collaborative, ARCOS Dance, Donna Jewell, and Elyse Fahey in Albuquerque, and visiting guest artists Lee Wei Chao, Francesca Harper, and Miguel Gutierrez. Internationally, Madrone has performed with lawine torren in Sölden, Austria and toured as movement director and choreographer of a theatre piece in Beijing, China.
She creates work for stage and film, and frequently collaborates with theater artists and directors. Most recently, she performed a new work by Erik Ehn at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in New York City.
