Syren Modern Dance SYREN is a New York based modern dance company commited to bringing dynamc live performance to a growing and diverse audience base.

SYREN Modern Dance was formed in 2003 and has since produced eight New York Seasons. SYREN has been presented at Jacob’s Pillow, Symphony Space, DTW, and The Riverside Theatre, among others. It has been supported by grants from NYC’s Department of Cultural Affairs, Harkness Space Grants (92nd Street Y), residencies at DanceNOW/NYC’s Silo and DTW’s Outer/Space, and was commissioned by Purchase College. SYREN’s mission is to place dance within a broader social context and harness the unique power of live performance. Central to that mission is pairing vigorous motion with live onstage music to bring dance back to where it started – in dialogue with live music. SYREN has collaborated with Galeet Dardashti, Artemis Chamber Ensemble, and Steeplechase Arts to bring over 20 performances to the public that feature dance with live music. SYREN is driven to explore movement and music in ways that deeply connect the two, as they have always been. Blending narrative ideas with the unique journey of each dancer and also that of each audience member is at the core of the work. The individual journey of a shared experience is the place SYREN loves to explore. SYREN has worked with students at Purchase College, Yale University, Nutmeg Conservatory, and Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts, among others. SYREN launched its fourth year of "Dance on Canvas" in 2011. This Partnership with the Art Students League of NY is a series of gallery-based rehearsals where visual artists capture the company’s dynamic motion in oil, charcoal and ink.

Our hearts are full after an incredible day at Miss Porter’s School! ♥️✨

A massive thank you to and the entire school community at for such a warm welcome. From the energy in the workshops to the focus during the performance and talkback session, we had an absolute blast sharing our journey and learning about yours.
The students were so intelligent, prepared, and truly ignited. The whole goal of "At the Table: Humanity at the dawn of AI" is to leave the audience with more questions and dialogue than they started with. Judging by the depth of the Q&A, these students are ready to lead those big conversations!
We left campus feeling inspired and so grateful for the kindness shown to us. Thank you for a day filled with movement, inquiry, and curiosity!

Still reflecting on an incredible week at Lake Superior State University. 🌊

​The engagement from the students and the public audience was next-level. We were blown away by the depth of the Q&A sessions—the questions were some of the most enlightening we’ve ever encountered. These are the moments that define the mission of At the Table: Humanity at the dawn of AI: breaking down barriers and connecting as people through the lens of art and the modern world.

​Thank you, for the warm welcome and the beautiful exchange. We truly felt at home.
