Gretchen Ackerman

JULY 5 at 8pm

Gretchen Ackerman received her formal training form the Grand Rapids Ballet School and Alonzo King’s LINES training program; where she had the opportunity to work with Alonzo King, Patricia Barker, Maurya Kerr, Arturo Fernandez, Shannon Gillen, Giaconda Barbuto, and Gregory Dawson. From there she joined Dark Circles under the direction of Joshua Peugh. While there, original works were set on her by Peugh, Sidra Bell, Eoghan Dillon, and Mark Caserta. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Gretchen began creating and performing her own works as well as creating original works for Rosanna Gamson. She values the disciplining of the self through understanding the body, the mind and how to use those to communicate ideas clearly and honestly.
