Discography

Her acclaimed piece “Descent” was performed in a twelve-story stairwell designed by legendary architect Stanford White in lower Manhattan. The performance ran more than 80 times to a total audience of over 5000 people in 2001, 2002 and 2003. “Noir”, a piece staged in a parking garage and viewed by the audience through the windshield of their cars was presented as a part of the Whitney Biennial and was co-produced by Danspace Project in 2004. Lafrance was commissioned by the Neuberger Museum of Art to create “Unseen: Landscapes”, a performance inspired by April Gornik’s paintings and performed by the MFA students at Purchase College SUNY in fall of 2004. Her work “Migrations”, was commissioned by the Whitney Museum at Altria, and was performed as part of the 2005 Performance on 42nd Street. “Agora”, followed by its second version, “Agora II”, were produced and presented by Sens Production in the abandoned McCarren Park Pool site in Brooklyn in 2005 and 2006. The performance reopened the abandoned site to the public for the first time in 20 years, was seen by more than 15,000 people and was performed more than 30 times. In 2008, Lafrance was commissioned to create “Rapture” using the architecture of the Frank Gehry-designed Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College in the Hudson Valley, NY. Lafrance has since started a series of performances sponsored by Tiffany & Co. staging other Gehry designs worldwide. In 2009, she choreographed and performed a solo work called “Home” using her body as the site for the performance. Her work “Melt” originally created in 2003 in the Black and White Gallery’s courtyard in Brooklyn, features dancers covered in bee’s wax and lanolin performing on seats attached to a wall. Melt toured to the Festival TransAmerique, in Montreal, Mellemrum in Copenhagen and SESC in Sao Paolo, Brazil in 2008.
