MachineHDance was founded in 2013 by Stephanie Deere in order to create an outlet to explore the relationship between self and the larger community. It is Miss Deere's desire to use movement as a medium for cultural exchange and mutual understanding. MachineHDance currently consists of a team of unique female dance artists and is fiscally sponsored by Unique Projects, Inc. a New York State not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization administrated by Pentacle/DanceWorks, Inc.
The company has performed at various festivals throughout New York City including Jennifer Muller’s “The Hatch”, “Take Root” at Green Space, and “Dance Astoria”. In 2016, the company produced its very first outreach program "INterACTION" in Long Island City, Queens, with grant funding from the Queens Council on the Arts. Miss Deere currently self-produces a number of the company's performance ventures including its annual dance theatre production "Spring Cleaning", the MachineHDance Summer Festival, and co-produces the increasingly popular Queen's festival "Dance Astoria". The company also successfully rasied funds in the spring of 2018 through "10 Dances in 10 Days" in order to participate in Movement Exchange's Panama outreach program which took place in July of 2018. Funds raised go towards year around dance education for orphans living in Panama City.
The company has grown rapidly and is now launching its 7th season creating, conversing, and collaborating in the rich, artistic environment of New York City. 2019 has brought with it the 3rd Annual Spring Cleaning: March Madness, the 6th Annual Dance Astoria, as well as the WR Arts Summer Series Showcase. The company is currently working on producing and performing in a fall festival in October, 2019. Miss Deere is increasingly thankful to continue to work with such inspiring dance artists in an ever-changing and diverse arts climate.
