Victoria Eleanor Bradford is a director, choreographer, and media producer. As a mover, she is consumed with the immediate, with what is felt now. In live performance, she strives to make visible those visceral feelings that are exchanged by performers and audience alike. In mediated work, she composes and arranges the residue of lived encounters so they can be seen and felt anew.
This looping of making and materials is the particular work of her conceptual dance company A House UnBuilt. As she manages people and projects into ideas and experiences, a House UnBuilt’s flagship project This is NOT Rehearsal is generating unexpected momentum through a concerted effort to give up expectation and expertise.
A House Unbuilt is also the namesake of Victoria’s Tumblr-based archive, otherwise known HUB. Due to her continued research of and engagement with developing social media, she utilizes social media to create a feedback loop of curatorial prompts and creative exploits through a daily archive of postings and general information logging. Her work in this area has led not only to compositions in the studio and on the “stage” but also to independent publications and speaking engagements on how those ideas can inform issues and industries outside of art.
Victoria lives in Chicago, Illinois, but calls the state of Louisiana her home.
