Hio Ridge Dance is a queer and experimental dance company based in rural Denmark, Maine. Since 2013, directors Cookie Harrist and Delaney McDonough have built original performances in residency at the Denmark Arts Center and toured the works through New England and beyond. The company collaborates with visiting artists and local community members to craft interdisciplinary performance experiences sourced from Denmark's unique power of place. The company's works have been presented by AUNTS (NY), Portfringe (ME), Franco-American Heritage Center (ME), Eastport Arts Center (ME), Green Street Studios (MA), and many more. In 2015, 3S Artspace (NH) commissioned HRD to create a dance film installation and performance in their gallery space. Other commissions include "Placeholders" at the Denmark Arts Center, made possible by the Maine Arts Commission and Maine Humanities Council, "Dance Factory" at Bates College, made in collaboration with 20 improvisation students, "My Vinalhaven Home" at Vinalhaven School, made possible by Maine Community Foundation, and "Timekeepers" at Fryeburg Academy, made in collaboration with 13 students of all abilities. The company's most recent work, "IN THE NAME OF WHAT," made with VT artist Tommy Arsenault will make it's San Francisco premiere at La Alternativa's annual Fresh Festival.
