In addition to performing in traditional venues, Ellis Wood Dance performs site-specific works in unconventional locations. The company has pieces that can be transformed to inhabit various locations in an innovative and creative way on the spot. The company has also been commissioned to create original works specifically for certain sites. Recent projects include:
- Island Solutions
Has been adapted to fit individual venues in Washington DC, Dresden, Germany, San Francisco, San Diego and Berkeley, CA.
