Founded in 2011 by Artistic Director/Choreographer, Nicole A. Martinell, Deep Vision Dance Company, Inc. is a Baltimore-based nonprofit organization dedicated to producing innovative choreographic work while creating a home for dancers, collaborating with regional artists, and educating the community in the creative process.
Described as “absolutely breathtaking to behold” (DC Metro Theatre Arts), Martinell’s choreography reveals the complexity of humankind and uncovers the strange beauty of the world around us. Ranging from grand site works to intimate performance spaces, her choreography features collaborations with movers, visual and literary artists, musicians, religious scholars, and scientists.
Choreographic honors include a recipient of Maryland’s Baker Artist Awards; selection for the Annual Choreographers’ Showcase (MD), DC Capital Fringe Festival (DC), Exchange Choreography Festival (OK), Intersections Festival (DC), New Release Choreographers Showcase (DC), American College Dance Association Galas (VA, MD), Artscape (MD), and ECOPOETIC (NY); and multi-city tours of numerous works.
Active in the community, Martinell/Deep Vision projects include “Learning Physics through Movement,” a K-12 arts integration program; By/4 Artist professional development series; Community Improvisation Jams; and youth Choreographic Mentorship. Martinell and Sidney Pink co-founded the AKIMBO Dance & Movement Art Festival in Baltimore’s Station North Arts & Entertainment District. Running for 5 years, this site-specific festival featured over 100 artists performing site-based works at galleries, restaurants, bridges, and grassy knolls.
Deep Vision Dance Company has been a Theatre Project Resident Company since 2013. Past productions include heady collectables, The Travelling Feet, and Matter, Energy, Human, and Collide.
