THE BELL HOUSE | enabling artists to grow and create together.
The Bell House is a collaborative dance and art cooperative dedicated to creating opportunity for artistic exchange.
The Bell House is committed to the elevation of modern dance as a vehicle for building relationships between people through the world of art. In the collaboration of ideas, people, and movement language, we summon courage to challenge conventional ways of making art to champion the artist in the culture in which they are moving. The Bell House fosters interactive meeting points for artistic process rather than focusing on dance as product in order to activate the transformative nature of movement that can be experienced both in the practice, performance, and witness of dance.
Dance should further people and relationships between people, therefore fueling the generative nature of ideas.

From the Founder & Artistic Director [Artistic Vision]…
It is a simple philosophy here at THE BELL HOUSE; make connections by bringing people together through art and education. For me, it isn’t enough to just make dance for dance’s sake; it is my belief that it is the connective power of people that makes art worth engaging. We do that by taking our interests and talents and finding ways to connect them to something tangible in the human experience. It is through these connections and tangibilities that we see the true power of art and dance manifest back to relationships with and through people. In my view, what matters is people; the time and space of making work refract and overlap revealing and creating new possibilities for human connection. ~ Rachel Bruce Johnson, Artistic Director |
