Group Acorde is a performance company formed in 2016 by two contemporary dancers and two experimental jazz musicians who innovatively collaborate in all aspects of the creation process. All of the company's works include original choreography and compositions that feature live music performed on stage with the dancers. The company’s main programs are public performances and community engagement activities that include question and answer sessions with the artists, “pay what you can” dance classes, and partnerships with local organizations. These activities provide accessible and affordable dance to live music performances and workshops for the Houston community. Group Acorde has created original works by its founding members and collaborated with guest artists from diverse backgrounds and art mediums including Israeli choreographer Anat Grigorio, Texas choreographer Jennifer Mabus, Texas composer Andrew Leinhard, Brazilian visual artist Andre Amaral, Texas based choreographer Spencer Gavin Hering, and New York based photographer Christopher Peddecord. Its work has been showcased at a number of prestigious festivals and venues throughout Houston and Austin, TX as well as self produced three evening length works and an immersive art/performance installation at the REC ROOM, MATCH, and the Deluxe Theatre in Houston.
