Karen Peterson and Dancers, founded in 1990 as a non for profit dance organization, presents excellence in dance through its quality based programs, community performances and educational workshops. The organization commissions and produces the work of dance artists with and without disabilities, promotes and supports international cultural exchange and provides rehearsal rentals and performance opportunities at their home Excello, established in 2002.

Karen Peterson and Dancers' program features adult dancers with and without disabilities who create and perform "mixed-ability" dance as an inclusive art form on a year round basis. The dancers collaborate, research and integrate their personal movement styles and discover an innovative dance language for choreography. The troupe provides a positive role model for the disability community and offers new visual inspiration for traditional dance audiences.

"Buoyant Dreams" June 25th & 26th
at Excello in the Falls Industrial area
also at the Byron Carlyle Theater
Miami Beach, December 11, 2010

“Buoyant Dreams” is a new mixed-ability video dance work by video artist Maria Lino and 2010 Miami Dade choreography fellowship winner Karen Peterson. Five dancers create a lush landscape of movement inspired by water, the ocean, nature, and their buoyancy in a pool. Live performance blends with video projections to submerge the viewer in sensations reminiscent of their own slippery water games. This is the second collaboration for Lino and Peterson where the video and dance are equal partners in the process and product of the work. "Mano a Mano" will also appear on the Excello program on June 25th at 8pm and June 26th at 4 and 8pm.
