About the Company
Continuum Dance Project (CDP) is a Boston based dance company creating site-specific, cross-disciplinary, and experiential performance. Founded in 2013 by Fernadina Chan, Co-Directors Adriane Brayton and Fernadina Chan have an intergenerational partnership that places the audience perspective at the center of each work. CDP plays with audience setting, viewpoint, and interaction; creating dance worlds in unconventional spaces. The company has set work in museums, houses, and many outdoor parks, including the Rose Kennedy Greenway.
In 2024 Continuum created “Echoes of Renewal” with videographer Ernesto Galan as part of a year-long artist residency at the BU Wheelock’s Earl Center for Innovation & Learning. “Echoes” explores the essential relationship between humans and the natural world. Designed for both indoor and outdoor spaces, this work has been set in the MIT Open Space Programming park, and toured to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival.
Continuum Dance Project has performed throughout Boston and New England. Performance highlights include Boston Center for the Arts, The Cape Cod Museum of Art, The Eustice Estate, The Greenway Conservancy, MIT Open Space Program Park, The Museum of Science Boston, Pao Arts Center, The USS Constitution Museum, Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Outside the Box Festival, Dance for World Community, Southern Vermont Dance Festival, and the ArtBeat Festival.
In 2023, CDP premiered Becoming Water as part of the Momentum Greenway Dance Program, presented by Amazon. This site-responsive series featured new works by Continuum Dance Project alongside Jean Appolon Expressions, Public Displays of Motion, and Vimoksha Dance Company. CDP has been recognized with numerous awards and residencies, including a 2024 Artist in Residence at BU Wheelock’s Earl Center for Learning & Innovation, a 2022 Boston Dancemakers Residency (with support from the Aliad Fund at The Boston Foundation), a 2021 Massachusetts Cultural Council Finalist Artist Fellowship in Choreography, 2020 Live Arts Boston grant from The Boston Foundation.
Continuum Dance Project continues to push the boundaries of cross-disciplinary collaboration and exploration of art in unconventional spaces.
