DEBORAH GREENFIELD
Deborah Greenfield, choreographer and dancer, has recently arrived in Paris after several years in Los Angeles. Born in London and trained in New York, Deborah has a choreographic and performing background which spans film, theatre and concert productions in both Europe and the US. She has also performed with ballet and modern companies and dance-theatre productions, and directed her own modern dance company, FUGA, after her piece Fuego Quieto (Still Fire) won 1st Prize at the V Madrid Choreography Competition. FUGA went on to appear at Seville's WORLD EXPO'92 and toured Europe's festival circuit to much critical acclaim. In 1999 in Los Angeles Deborah choreographed and performed in the feature films "Camera Obscura", starring Spanish actress Ariadna Gil and Skeleton Woman. She has also produced and performed in a series of short dance films, some of which have been screened at international dance film festivals. For the past several years Deborah has focussed her creative energy on incorporating flamenco dance into her work in experimental ways. Work under her conmpany name of Rosa Negra was featured in various concerts, at the Hollywood Bowl and with the LA Philharmonic. In 2003-04 Madrugada, a multimedia theatre production based on Bram Stoker's Dracula, was created with a fellowship from the City of Los Angeles and in 2004-06 another work, Diálogos, was supported by a grant from Dance USA. In this last, various ways of melding flamenco and modern dance were explored. Here in Paris she is now collaborating with choreographer Yana Maizel on a new dance-theatre project.
