Mary Joanne Sofianos

Chance Meeting Collective is an ongoing project with its beginnings rooted in free form dance improvisation and collective choreography. In an attempt to collaborate with artists of varying backgrounds, Mary has invited dancers, visual artists, musicians, poets, and actors to participate in a variety of creative projects. By connecting with diverse, talented individuals or groups, it provides an opportunity to pursue unique and interdisciplinary performances. In 2012 the collective was founded in the Bronx, NY during Mary's undergraduate studies at Lehman College. Members are revolving in terms of schedules and project needs which makes it all the more interesting. Mary enjoys working with movers of all levels and other creative artists in an open and cooperative atmosphere.
