Sasha Spielvogel’s Labyrinth Dance Theater is a classically trained modern dance company founded in 1979. With a repertory that ranges from the comedic to the sensual, to choreography embodying social justice, Sasha believes that dance has the power to help repair the world. Critics from the New York Times to Attitude Magazine described Ms. Spielvogel’s work as, “Totally mesmerizing,” “Striking!” “A powerful achievement, performed superbly” and “Raises the art form to where it should always be: Towering!”Ms. Spielvogel’s dance film, Dark Angel, was screened in Manhattan and the LOIKKA Dance Film Festival, Helsinki. The Promise of Rest, created to honor all those bullied for their sexual orientation, was performed at Jacob’s Pillow for ADG. Beginning in 1998, Sasha has had six pieces in Dancers Over 40 programs: Les Espaces du Sommeil, Passing, Auditioning for the Celestial Follies, Entre Nosotros, Not Even If I Try; Come Back Once More So I Can Say Goodbye, co-produced by DO40 in 2015, is an evening-length work about gay life in NYC and the advent of AIDS from 1965-1995 which received standing ovations at the Alvin Ailey Theater.
