Bones and Memory Dance is a project-based dance company under the direction of Heather vonReichbauer. Bones and Memory Dance’s repertoire engages the audience with curious dance creations fueled by the creepy and macabre, creating work that is accessible, theatrical, and injected with a little humor. An avid reader, Heather is inspired by the written word and aims to weave literary and allegorical elements into a visual tapestry of movement and music.
We love dark tales with current works about Mary Shelley, Lizzie Borden, Edgar Allan Poe, and Appalachian murder ballads.
Bones and Memory Dance has been presented at Barnstorm Dance Fest, Mind the Gap, 254 Dance- Fest, Houston Fringe Festival, and Society of Performing Arts Performance Prelude Series, and premiered their first evening length show “Madness, Memories, and Woe: A Fantastical Journey Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe” at MATCH in 2018.Bones and Memory Dance was a 2022 recipient of a Groundwork Grant from Dance Source Houston.
After ten years in Houston, TX, we have relocated to Durham, NC. We are excited to rejoin the NC dance community and connect with a new audience.
