Hyperbole Dance / Nikki Sell

Hyperbole Dance, Artistic Director Nikki Sell, presents its premiere concert Feb. 22 & 23 @ 8pm at the Julie Ince Thompson Theater at the Dance Complex in Cambridge, MA.

Named for the literary concept of an exaggeration for dramatic effect, Hyperbole Dance is movement designed convey a narrative and provoke an emotional response. Established in 2012 by artistic director Nikki Sell, the company's work explores and reflects human experience thru movement, music, text, and visual art. Ms. Sell describes her work saying, "For me, dance is about expression. Expression of what I don't know how to say with words. Expression of what I am afraid to say or maybe not supposed to say. In every moment where I am struck speechless by emotion, there is a dance." A blend of modern and jazz styles, Ms. Sell's choreography has been described by others as "from the heart", "mesmerizing", "evocative & powerful" and "dramatic without crossing the line to melodramatic".
