Maddy Wright
Madeline – from Toronto, Canada – is a dance graduate of Point Park University, where she completed her BFA degree with high honours and gained a thorough foundation and appreciation for modern technique and functional somatic work. She credits her transformative education to the likes of Douglas Bentz, Jason McDole and Jennifer Edwards. Madeline has attended professional programs such as Springboard Danse Montreal (working with Alexandra Wells, Ami Schulman, Peter Chu, Bobbi Jene Smith and Spenser Theberge), Movement Invention Project, Ignite by Toes for Dance, AXIS Connect, and two sessions of Sidra Bell’s SBDNY Module. Madeline’s professional and performance experience consists of commercial, concert and multi-disciplinary venues – collaborating and performing the works and projects of Cindy Salgado, Terrence Marling, Gregory Dolbashian, Sonya Tayeh, Helix Dance Project (Linda Garneau) and Frog in Hand (Colleen Snell). Additionally, Madeline has worked closely with FRESH Dance Intensive, teaching at many locations across Canada. In 2016, Madeline co-directed Beyond Movement Dance Intensive in its inaugural venture at Leeming Danceworks in Ottawa Canada. Madeline has also been working in New York City, where she worked with and performed in Sonya Tayeh’s premiere production of you’ll still call me by name at New York Live Arts in December 2016. Madeline is now looking forward to the exciting creative projects arising this fall 2017.
