TWYSTED
GENIUS DANCE
Twysted Dance is an independent dance company founded by choreographer and creative director Madeline Anderson. We create work that pushes beyond traditional boundaries and explores the strange and fascinating nature of being human. Our work brings together dance and theater with a strong influence from psychology and visual art. We are interested in the things that make us human and the parts of ourselves that are harder to explain. Through original productions and community events, we aim to create space for artists to experiment, take risks, and share work that might not fit anywhere else. At Twysted Dance, we embrace the unconventional and believe there is something exciting about not knowing exactly what comes next.
OVERFLOW:
OUR CURRENT ANCHOR PROJECT
Overflow is Twysted Dance’s current anchor project and an evolving exploration of the subconscious mind. What began as a solo created for my senior capstone has continued to grow through multiple iterations. After performing the original solo throughout New York City, I expanded it into a 25-minute work that premiered at Arts On Site in March 2026 as Overflow: Volume 1. The work then grew into a full evening-length production, Overflow: Volume 2, which premiered at The Tank in August 2026.
Reading like a fever dream, Overflow moves through rapidly shifting worlds and psychological imagery. It is designed to be accessible for audiences to follow while still leaving them stunned, questioning what they experienced, and hungry for more. The fast changes and constant evolution of the work reflect the way modern audiences consume imagery and information, while inviting them into a deeper exploration of the subconscious beneath the surface.
On February 23 and 24, 2027, Overflow: Volume 3 will return in an expanded and reimagined production at Brooklyn Art Haus. This next iteration will build on the established work with an increased focus on production value, costumes, and the overall visual world of the piece. As the project continues to grow, I am seeking sponsors and creative partners who can help support its development and bring this next chapter to life.
