Louise Reichlin & Dancers burst into the public eye in 1979 with their first performance at the Anson Ford Theatre when "Reichlin created a sensation with
"The Tennis Dances" (Dance News). Over the years she has continued to examine our society from its most primitive nature to the emergence of the information age with
"The E-mail Dances"
in 1996. Through multiple performances for the 23rd Olympiad, a summer series at the LA Zoo, touring the US and Mexico with
"Dreamscapes". Reichlin has consistently created "probing and provocative" works. (Dance Magazine)

Recently we created a shorter version of "The Patchwork Girl of Oz" that we toured with and performed here in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and No Carolina in theaters, and locally in a version for schools. In January we returned to Las Vegas for two full performances of the works mentioned in this e-news in two different theaters. Our newest works are "A Jewish Child's Story" (see photos below), "Invasion" (begins the video at top of page and linked to "Invasion" photo above) and "Call From the Afterlife". We also performed "The Tennis Dances" and added new material to "Tap Dance Widows Club" here before we toured. We currently have a master contract with the LA Unified, and this season had 21 residencies with about 420 workshops and 40 performances at schools in the Los Angeles area, both curriculum based and after school. The company, a performing unit of Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, was founded by Louise Reichlin.

Is Your Company Listed in the So. CA Dance Directory?
|
The Southern CA Dance Directory that I began in 1995 is alive and well with over 580 listings of professional dance companies and related organizations. The URL will be changing this summer, but is current now. This free service is accessed by thousands of people each month, and I've heard that dance jobs have often come about through the information! But....if the wrong email or phone number is there, it's up to you to contact us and it will be fixed, usually within 24 hours. If you are not there and would like to be, please email the information in the format that is there. This is a special project that is a labor of love - no grants funds involved - so if you want to use it, please help keep it up to date. Contact us at 213-385-1171 or
