johannes wieland articulates and gives shape to the vision of its founder/ choreographer, Johannes Wieland. Wieland’s choreography employs an architecturally driven understanding of bodies, movement and space probing deeply into the human psyche to create an abstract, metaphorically rich repertory for his company. As part of its integrated approach to performance art, the company utilizes a rigorous developmental process to explore various situations of causality. This intense process motivates a close relationship between dancers, composers, designers and other collaborating artists.

Johannes and company members enjoy sharing their work and knowledge with audiences. This includes participating in pre and post-performance discussions, presenting lecture-demonstrations, holding open rehearsals, and teaching classes in various styles. As appropriate, excerpts or entire works from the repertory may be restaged on companies or pre-professional student ensembles.

johannes wieland premiered in 2002 with a sold-out run in New York City and has since attained reputable acclamation and received several prestigious awards. The company has been presented by numerous national and international venues, in addition to conducting residency programs, lecture demonstrations and guest teaching.
