Juli Brandano is a dancer and choreographer based in Brooklyn, NY. She has collaborated as a performer with Phoebe Berlgund, Jessica Cook, Ayano Elson, Amelia Heintzelman and Cally Spooner, among others. She was a 2020 Lighthouse Works Fellow and was Dance Research Fellow at NYPL’s Jerome Robbins Dance Division.
Brooklyn-based choreographer Juli Brandano investigates the body as both material and dramatic subject in Some Other Material. A collaborative and research-based process, the work utilizes repetition, minimal music, and continual movement to forge a continuity between dancing bodies and the natural world. Initial inspiration was developed on Rockaway Beach, where the dancers studied and embodied the movement of tides and coastal erosion.
“Congratulations on your Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours initiative. I hope you all feel delighted with the experience. I must admit that it challenged me to do something a little bit out of my zone. But I am quite happy with the outcome. The first project featuring my son! It will be an unforgettable moment when we will look back at it in a few years.”
