The Playground NYC allows dancers to experience various choreographic styles and ideas, engage with a new community of dancers, and gather resourceful information and inspiration from the array of choreographers involved. In turn, established choreographers are paid for their creative investigations, are given free space to explore new movement with professional dancers, and are provided with the opportunity to establish relationships with new dancers and fellow choreographers.
Bio:
Armando Braswell is a soloist dancer and collaborative artist from New York City. He
received his Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Dance from the Juilliard School in 2006
and since then, has been fortunate enough to work with many great choreographers
and companies. Currently, Armando is a soloist with Ballett Theater Basel. Aside from
his dancing career, Armando has established himself as a guest teacher in high
demand and continues to give workshops and guest classes all over the world. He has
choreographed for many stages throughout Europe as well as television. In addition
to his artistic activities, Armando is also active in the journalistic field. His online
platform “Interview en l’air”, gives an insight into the thoughts and inspiration of dance
artists worldwide through personal interviews. In 2016, Armando founded “Ballett
Dienstag”, as a community where dancers of all levels and all body types could train
in a supportive and professional environment. This idea expanded in 2017 and has
since become the Braswell Arts Center – a space for innovation and collaboration in
all art forms located in Basel, Switzerland.
