Erika Batdorf Moleman Productions

Interdisciplinarity

Work created by an artist with a wide range of real concrete skills who is more interested in content and communication than form alone. I get classified in these arenas: Theatre, movement, performance art, cross disciplinary, dance... political, spiritual, emotionally intense... most of the time I do solo performance in theatres, sometimes in galleries and some site specific work.

excerpts from some reviews of Erika Batdorf's work:

The Village Voice - James Hannaham
“great facility and quirky humor… a new way of perceiving the world."

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)- Kate Taylor
"impressively convincing… remarkable.”

The Boston Herald
"…striking physicality… a natural and authoritative dancer and choreographer, projecting a sculptural quality by quicksilver shifts in gestural inflection."

The Allentown Express (PA)
"One of the most effective integrations of theater of movement and idea I have ever seen."

Anchorage Daily News
"…succeeded in presenting the breadth of creative energy inherent in today's movement theater and performance art."

The Providence Phoenix
"Reverberations from Erika Batdorf's performance pieces produced intense conversations with colleagues, friends and even a stranger...Batdorf's down to earth, unpretentious combination of lecture and performance and her
creative amalgam of storytelling and dance… make her pieces fresh and startling."
