"Brilliant ... skillful craftsmanship, musicality
and timing; the effortless melding of every
kind of dance technique you can think of,
mediated by [Elkins's] own inimitable, highly
coordinated physical style."
—Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times

S
ince his days as a break dancing B-Boy, Doug Elkins
has not only turned himself on his head but the dance
world as well. His irreverent and provocative work often
deconstructs classics (The Sound of Music inspired Fräulein
Maria; Othello and José Limón's The Moor's Pavane inspired
Mo(or)town/Redux). He is putting the finishing touches on a
brand new work for Peak Performances and is at work on a new
film for Dance for Film on Location at Montclair State University.

It's a rare artist who can
make you feel as though
you'd never paid attention
to one of the world's
best-known songs. The
song is 'I Heard It Through
the Grapevine'; the artist
is the choreographer
Doug Elkins.
