Binki Danz

Based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Binki Danz Company was established in 2012 by artistic director, creator, and choreographer Bianca Stephanie Mendoza. As an all female dance company, Binki Danz focuses on political, economic, racial, and gender issues that affect us today. A Latin American feminist Bianca Mendoza uses her company Binki Danz to show works across the bay area that personify her views on these issues such as Salutations which was chosen to be performed at the Push Dance benefit concert spring of 2013. Binki Danz then performed its first evening length work entitled Effeminate Exigency which was performed at Kunst-Stoff Theater as a solo show August of 2013. Binki Danz then received a spot to perform in San Francisco's art event DAMSF with their piece Body Poetry which was also shown in Berkeley at Works in the Works. Binki Danz Company has been a regular residency holder at Joe Landini's The Garage in San Francisco which has since moved to Kunst-Stoff as a Saffehouse for resident artists. With this residency Binki Danz company created it's newest work Colloquy, a piece commemorating the voices of leaders past and present that uses dance as a response to their words. Binki Danz has been accepted into the D.I.R.T program (Dancing In Revolting Times) at Mission Dance Theater as a Dance Bregade production to perform Colloquy.
