Working with Briana Bowie has been a dream. She is a fantastic collaborator, a true pro, and a creative force. I have had the pleasure of working with her for several high-end corporate clients for whom we delivered dynamic opening stage shows. Her choreography is innovative and excels at communicating an emotion or narrative through movement. Briana is calm and focused during the pre-production process and is excellent at communicating across the board, be it with the technical team, the cast, or the end client. Her background in dance, acrobatics, and circus brings a diversity of movement language to the table that I find invaluable. All this, and she is so fun!

Briana Bowie is an exceptional balance of creativity, adaptability, openness, and vision. Working with Briana was a pure delight as she created beautiful choreography that met all expectations and was the perfect balance of meeting show concept needs with an injection of her own unique style and personality. She is much more than a choreographer as she draws upon her vast experiences in the world of dance and circus to excel in managerial, directorial, and organizations roles seamlessly. Briana is drive and talent wrapped in a kind and collaborative package.

Briana is incredibly creative, efficient and is noticeably experienced in creating acts and concepts. I was looking for a choreographer/director for my new aerial act but quickly realized that she offered so much more than “just the movements”. Briana has the rare ability of passionately entering into a project while always keeping her art and her infinite energy inspiring and motivating. Her talent for organization, made her the best director I could wish for.

Of all the choreographers/directors I have had the pleasure of working with, Briana Bowie is truly one of my favorites. From the first rehearsal to the last performance, I felt like her vision and direction was incredibly clear and I had everything I needed for the piece to be successful. She has a true talent for creating works that reflect an array of emotions and stories — she is never one note. In addition to her creative mind, she is also incredibly professional. She comes to rehearsals with material prepared and never has you wondering what to expect. As a working dancer, that holds a lot of weight and I am very thankful to have worked with her.

Briana Bowie is a creative force to be reckoned with. Her drive and passion shine sharply through on every project she is involved in. Her thirst for innovation and constant motivation give life to any idea thrown her way. She is a fount of knowledge from her broad ranging career as a dancer, acrobat, actor and artist allowing her to be expressive in new and ingenious ways. As a creative partner she melds ideas and works to assimilate visions to create a chimera of movement, which results in a rewarding experience working with her and a beautiful end product. She also uniquely transcends the artistic with the practical and is one of the most organized directors I have had the pleasure of working with. As an artist it is incredibly encouraging to feel like your time is valued and your path is laid clearly before you. She brings heart, courage, ingenuity and drive to every project.
