Joshua Bisset is a dance choreographer and movement artist. Since 1998, he has created original stage and site-specific dances and performance projects driven by collaboration with sculpture and sound. He founded Shua Group in 2000. His work develops from preoccupation about the line between self and other, private and public. Joshua graduated with a degree in philosophy of religion from Bowdoin College and worked as a social worker before coming to New York in 1998 to study and make dance. Joshua has been influenced by the movement artists of Daniel Lepkoff, Elaine Summers, Julian Hamilton and Laura Quattrocchi. Artist Statement
