Visceral, emotional, compelling. Liss Fain's dynamic and emotionally poignant movement blends the flow and movement experimentation of modern dance with the kinetic precision and vertical lift of ballet. The music she works with—rhythmically complex, emotionally evocative, challenging both the choreographer and the dancer—is integral to the development of the movement and ideas of the piece. The result is a rich experience of dance and music for the audience; in her recent concert in San Francisco, Voice of Dance critic Allan Ulrich said, "Here at last, is a choreographer who takes the chances—with extremely important and difficult scores and with an expansive vision of movement—that matter."

Liss Fain Dance expands the choreographic and performance parameters of contemporary dance by presenting original work that integrates into the choreography the ideas and designs of artists from other disciplines and technologists. Since its founding in 1989, the company has collaborated with film makers, visual designers, musicians and technologists on projects that have toured nationally and internationally. The company is committed to pursuing artistic cross-cultural exchanges through performances, workshops, and master classes that contribute to greater mutual understanding and respect between citizens from different countries and cultures.
