Kristel Baldoz started dancing at the age of six in Delano, California, studying ballet and jazz under her mother's persistence. Kristel grew to love movement and decided she wanted to be a dancer. She received her B.A. in Dance, Theater, and Performance Studies from the UC Berkeley. However, curious to explore other fields, Kristel decided to take some time off from dance. She traveled, found herself unexpectedly settled in Philadelphia, and worked for a nonprofit, advocating for urban youth and education. She thanks idiosynCrazy productions for this great opportunity and is excited to be moving again!

Christine was born and raised on the same block in the Bronx that "Jenny" came from; which, by the way, isn't the south, south Bronx, but rather central East. It is there that she was introduced to dance through her cultural roots with salsa dancing at the age of 7. Christine decided to take her dance training a little further and was accepted into Professional Performing Arts School in association with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Along with her formal training at AAADT, Christine continued dancing salsa and was part of top Latin dance companies with whom she had the pleasure of performing both nationally and internationally in over 7 countries. After high school, she went on to receive her BFA in Modern Dance Education from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Christine moved back to the block, pursuing a professional career in dance and is very excited to join the idiosynCrazy productions crew in the City of Brotherly Love.

After studying sociolinguistics and dance at Swarthmore College, he completed further technical training at the Institute for Dance Art in Linz, Austria, and has since performed with various groups across Europe and the United States. His work is nearly always collaborative and process-driven, with a strong interest in critical aesthetics, and has been developed through residencies around Philadelphia and Central Europe. As a dancer, Gregory enjoys exhilarating movement, excessive intellectual content, and amplified awkwardness. He is a collaborative creator/performer with Green Chair Dance Group, and also works with idiosynCrazy productions, Brian Sanders/JUNK, Gabrielle Revlock, and Workshop for Potential Movement. He has also been involved in numerous political performance projects, including street and protest performance.

I first started dancing as a form of mockery, a way of expression that for me tapped into an ease of articulation that was particularly useful for a first grader. As I grew older and became more self conscious, dance became something that I stayed away from, an alienating, reoccurring theme that would stay with me through most of high school. With school dances proving to be the quickest pathways to social acceptance, I struggled to find inclusion, due in part to the fact that I was never the type of person who would do anything without first knowing if I was good at it. However, I always marveled at the seemingly innate way that my peers could seamlessly slip on this curvaceous, sensually thick movement, and it would be that fascination that would eventually guide me into dance as a field of study. Studying the way that people move, as well as why and how, has since become a passion of mine. Formally, I have received the majority of my training from The Dance Institute of Washington and The University of the Arts, as well as attending Paul Taylor summer intensives. Professionally, I have had the tremendous pleasure of working with choreographers Jumatatu Poe, Silvana Cardell, Brian Sanders, Curt Haworth, Ishmael Houston Jones, Michael Biello and Zachary Svoboda.

idiosynCrazy productions has no formal audition process. We encourage those interested in performing with idiosynCrazy productions to attend an idioSomatics class, or one of our occasionally offered workshops. Please take a look at our The Physical Laboratory calendar to see when our classes and workshops are happening.
idiosynCrazy productions aims to:
My mission with idiosynCrazy productions is to sculpt a body of performance work for the company that presents socially relevant and captivating dance/theater performances. Our work is mystifying and intimate in the same breath, with the cultivation of performance practices that are responsive to audiences, and transformative for performers. We create performance work that will travel, with audience and performer, to the edge: of believability, of physical limits, of one's own skin. I will invite artists to work with the company who can help further advance our exploration of movement and performance work. To this end, I aim to address subject matter of particular relevance to urban/metropolitan communities, with a strong sensibility toward exemplifying diversity.
Tasks include:
As the Director of Creative Development my mission is to make clear the creative objectives and initiatives for idiosynCrazy productions performers. I will give insights to the differences between function and expression, to gain physical/anatomical knowledge, increase performative expression through dynamic capabilities of the body, and cultivate new theories of dance and training. I will share my knowledge of functional efficiency with performers of idiosynCrazy productions to strengthen our bodies' ability to take care of themselves, prevent injury, create the ability to layer and multitask in demanding physical processes, understand and embody emotional presence through physicality, stretch performative abilities, and become a language for diversity through movement.
Tasks include:
idiosynCrazy productions acknowledges that each individual or community it interacts/collaborates/engages with, comes with an unique voice, history, culture, and has unique needs and interests. As the Director of Community Engagement/Interaction, it is my responsibility to find ways to create opportunities of collaboration and learning that are relevant for both the members of idiosynCrazy productions and the collaborating individual/community. idiosynCrazy is not interested in just teaching/learning/making. We are interested in giving/sharing/interacting/
The idiosynCrazy productions community believes that identifying ourselves as artists, as performers, and as instructors of dance is not separate from identifying ourselves as human. Our artistry fortifies our humanity and seeks to make us more a part of this world. In essence, that is what we aim to do through the instruction of dance and dance-related topics: situate the learning experience within the world. Students need to have the option to place art in very realistic places for themselves, to see its functional purpose in their world.
We are interested in cross-disciplinary applications of dance: how we, as dance educators, can address dance historically, socially, scientifically, and artistically. The prominence of dance in popular culture is especially noteworthy, now, and dance educators are in the esteemed position of being able to frame this for students, contextualize it, deconstruct it, learn from it, and move forward from it, while also giving credence and agency to dance that exists outside of the realm of popular culture. Each moving body, each moving story is draped in layers of history and meaning.
As part of our community initiative, idiosynCrazy productions offers idioSomatics, a FREE contemporary movement class. This is an open, professional level dance class in which we will take our bodies to extreme places. In idioSomatics, we explore INTENSE physical movement and how it relates to psychological/emotional energies. This class is perfect for anatomy/physics geeks, tireless movement lovers, and daring performers. We'll think, we'll feel, we'll sweat… a lot… Step aboard for this journey to the extreme.
idioSomatics is about opening up the body and activating all of the senses to heighten our responsiveness to our dance/performance experience. We identify the physical forces acting on our bodies in movement at a given time, and decide how much control we will exert over this, how out of control we will allow ourselves to become. We clarify and manipulate the energy that we create ourselves. We examine how we partner with the environment (the floor, the walls, other people). And we use energy and focus to connect ourselves with our environment and the people with whom we share the experience. Our goal is to create a deeper sense of performance in the body, in the energy. Our goal is to have a full, authentically communicative experience; with our classmates, with ourselves.
The Physical Laboratory is an educational initiative sponsored by idiosynCrazy productions that aims to provide local professional-level dancers with performance tools and rigorous physical training. Contact info@idiosynCrazy.org for more information.
Please check out our Physical Laboratory calendar online to see when our classes and workshops are being offered. Also, please contact us for more information on workshops and lecture/demonstrations that we offer as part of our community interaction/engagement initiatives.
Alibi: A Murder Mystery
Directed and choreographed by Jumatatu Poe
Video design by Marquise Lee
Alibi is an exposé on how guilt and the politics of identity cause those affected by guilt to change their actions, reform habits, repent sins ("real" or imagined). The story centers around a narrator, accused of killing a girl who he claims he did not know; the narrator's best friend who loved the girl from afar; and the dead girl, suffering in infinite unrest.
Number of Performers: 3
Duration: 20 minutes
Audience quotes from a showing of Alibi at the AWARD Show, Philadelphia Live Arts Festival 2009
"Violent & still. Beautiful & compelling"
"Powerful and haunting. Perfect balance of revealing and hiding"

FLATLAND 2010
Directed and designed by Jumatatu Poe
Movement by Poe and the performers
Lighting Design by Catherine Lee
FLATLAND 2010 satirically addresses the flatness of human communication. Take a magnified look upon the world of FLATLAND, as you watch 11 of its inhabitants figure out how to communicate in a place where everything is so, well, one-sided. This is a world in which abbreviation and simplification rule, where the sound byte supersedes substance, where the instant message overpowers the intimate one.
Performed by 11 phenomenal dance artists, FLATLAND 2010 is a highly physical struggle for depth in two dimensions.
Number of performers: 11
Duration: 70 minutes (full-length)
FLATLAND 2010 (from a preview showing)
"One of the most exciting things I've seen in a while. I feel simultaneously hungry and incredibly satisfied, and very very awake" – Chloe Paisley, artist
"Provocative, entertaining, very skillful" – Joanne Fleisher, psychologist
"Unapologetically human. Bold. Complex. At the surface" – Marcie Mamura, dance artist
Flight Attendants
Directed by Jumatatu Poe
Choreographed by Jumatatu Poe and Michele Tantoco
YOU are invited into the tense world of Ricky and Roz, two flight attendants on a trip that doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. They are at your service, bending over backwards, turning upside down, and fitting into the smallest of spaces to provide you with a comfortable, luxurious voyage... kind of. Let's kindly take a moment to give them our attention, please.
This piece is a look at service: the people that serve, the way that they interact with those who are serving. Also, through this piece, we look at the claustrophobia that accompanies being fit into a space: physically, sociologically, categorically… Evening-length piece to be developed from the duet version for late 2012.
Number of Performers: 2
Duration: 20-minutes
*can be adapted to incorporate local performers*
Audience quotes from an in-progress showing of Flight Attendants at Mascher Space Co-Op, part of the INFLUX Performance Series
"all the contradictory aspects of keeping a chipper appearance in a thankless job"
"very unpredictable"
"loved the range of emotions it evoked- humor, sympathy, curiosity, confusion"
Unstuck
Directed and designed by Jumatatu Poe
Movement by Poe and the performers
Dramaturgy by Shannon Murphy
Unstuck was informed by responses to a question that Jumatatu posed to repertory students at Drexel University and Swarthmore College: "What if there were only this moment… forever?" The question prompted the creation of a dance work at each institution, as well as idiosynCrazy productions' own explorations of the topic. To begin, each of the performers wrote narratives in response to the above question. From there, idiosynCrazy productions circulated a survey to people of the Millennial generation (born between 1980 and 1998) that posed questions about identity, image, classification, allegiance, and how relevant these things are when the notion of time/era is shifted. From the entire pool of respondents, five Millennials were selected to be interviewed further on these topics. Text from the interviews is heard throughout the piece. The modular qualities found in the voices of the interviewees were used to create the sound for Unstuck. The movement from the videos of the interviews helped to inform the movement of the performers, whether set or improvised. This piece premiered in the 2010 Live Arts Festival.
Number of Performers: 5
Duration: 35 minutes
