As the interim ballet specialist and composition teacher at the Appomattox Regional Governor’s School (a magnet performing arts high school in Petersburg, VA) for 2020/2021, bamberger ran the Dance Department’s Company. this group was rebranded as SAILDANCE, a young group of aspiring artists and incredible pre-professional dancers. These performers were all in grade 9.

Due to the pandemic, the group rehearsed via Zoom and created an hour-long immersive installation dance series that fluctuated in its iterative practice over three months. What culminated was nothing short of miraculous.

The dancers were asked to perform at the Firehouse Theatre, a downtown experimental performance space in Richmond, VA. It was pure magic. Please enjoy this hopeful sequence of performances based on resilience and the powerful human condition.
