Ella Dawn W-S is a dancer and choreographer living in Brooklyn.

She presents work under the name Dancews.

The dances take place in imaginary landscapes, altars, and unstable surfaces. They take place, and they also create, reform, and abandon these environments. The temporality of disaster and the instability of experience recur.


As a performer, Ella has worked with Lavinia Eloise Bruce, SECT, inc., Zoe Papaeracleous, Erik Thurmond, Phoebe Berglund, Kiera Bono, and visual artist Tsuneko Taniuchi.
