Celine Bassman

is a Queens native and multidisciplinary dance artist, having earned her BA in dance and feminist, gender & sexuality studies from Wesleyan University. Fundamental to Celine's work is an understanding that everyday life is a site for play and choreographic inquiry. Her work applies spatial patterns, repetition, and pedestrian choreographed phrase work to attend to how the dancing body can shape space. Celine has worked as an assistant choreographer for the Bessie Award-winning choreographer, Douglas Elkins. She has shown work at Arts on Site, Green Space’s “Fertile Ground” performance series and at Neville Dance Theater’s “On Pointe” Dance Festival.
