Phoenix Project Dance was founded in 2004 under the artistic direction of Amber Perkins and is currently in its seventh season. The idea of a bird that is reborn from the ashes of it’s own demise is the inspiration for the company. The re-invention of ones self is a driving force behind  the Phoenix Project’s artistic vision. The Phoenix Project has achieved great success in both Europe and America. It was selected in 2005 to perform at the prestigious award ceremony “The Elan Awards” in Manhattan. At the event Ms. Perkins was presented with the “Spirit of Elan Award” for her piece “The Firebird,”  given to an emerging choreographer and company. The Phoenix Project has also toured Bavaria, Germany in the  Winter of 2006. The company received the honor of rehearsing with the Munich State Ballet in Munich. This opportunity opened the doors for the Phoenix Project in Germany and the company hopes to return to Europe in the near future.

Recently, The Phoenix Project was selected to once again perform in Manhattan, as part of the Thang Dao Contemporary Dance Festival at the Ailey Citi Group Theater. Currently Phoenix Project Dancers also have contracts dancing with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Radio City Christmas Spectacular, West Side Story, and Garth Fagan Dance. Currently Phoenix Project Dance has been given a residency at Colgate University and booked at Colgate’s Palace Theatre.
