where the view is better from the edge...

Welcome to Dafmark Dance Theater

On the 21st of January 2012,
Dafmark hosted the Erie Philharmonic after-concert reception.

This was the occasion to transform our space into a warm and beautiful reception area
with exquisite foods and great company.   Our congratulations to the Erie Philharmonic
for inviting Attack Theater to Erie and for offering such an unusual concert experience.
It is a privilege to be a part of EDACC!

       "Dance is a mosaic of time, a chance to transform and be transformed, a means to connect the self to others and to our times."

Visceral motion, provocative statements and original choreography are trademarks of Dafmark Dance Theater, the Erie-based contemporary dance company founded in 1990 by Dafna Rathouse-Baier and Jean-Marc Baier.

Productions such as ”Rite of Spring,” “Monody; Opera II,” “Dafmark, Divas and Arias,” "An Ancient Song," "Back to Bach," "Knock, Knock, Who is There?  Shakespeare in Motion," and “Unsilenced Voices” demonstrate an uncompromising commitment to artistic expression and originality. Dafmark has also worked with the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra, the Ravel Trio, the Cypress String Quartet, Quintango, Mary Alice Brown Jazz Ensemble and the Edinboro University Chamber Players.

For Dafmark Dance Theater, it is the dynamism between tradition and change, immediacy and transcendence, form and content, where the passion for artistic expression takes shape. It is the nexus where creativity finds a voice in the language of dance, and where "meaning in movement" is both a comfort and a challenge to the way in which we understand ourselves.

Dafmark's repertory has also been performed by the renowned Kibbutz Dance Company in Israel, by Atalanta Fugiens in Barcelona, Spain, the Northeast Academy of Dance in Michigan and Voci, Orlando's premier contemporary dance company in Florida.
