From silks to bungees, from masks to stilts, Brook Notary's choreography is charged, visceral, and visually arresting. Her unique vision in both aerial and dance has been regaled by audiences nationwide and sought after by other industry innovators, from celebrities and recording artists to dance companies and educational institutions. The New York Times has raved of her "choreographic magic" and proclaimed Brook "adept at theatrical conjuration." Brook's piece "Plucked" has received stunning reviews. Backstage called it "fabulous ... aesthetically striking ... The mysterious beings acquire an unusual grace, evoking an alien quality as they cavort and sculpt themselves into engrossing choreographic designs ... Ravishing, high-speed excitement." The Village Voice described it as "picturesquely eerie... dizzying." Included in her diverse stage work is the critically acclaimed New York-based modern dance company, Notario, for which she is the founder, artistic director and choreographer. She has seen her work come alive in venues across New York City and the east coast, including Jacob's Pillow, the Duke on 42nd, The Kitchen, Joyce SoHo, and Symphony Space; they have hit the west coast at the Cowell Theater in San Francisco. On television, Notario Dance Company was featured in "Up and Coming Choreographers" on PBS. Her work has also been in demand by celebrities: pop artist Usher hired Brook to choreograph a live aerial show for his fragrance launch event; most recently, curators Harrison Ford and President Bharrat Jagdeo of Guyana had Brook create an outdoor piece on rainforest conservation for an International Press event in New York City. As a performer, Brook toured the US as a rhythmic gymnast and served as dance captain with Cirque Ingenieux. She danced in and choreographed industrial pieces for Emittime Productions, and performed in the acclaimed off-Broadway show De La Guarda in New York. Ms. Notary earned her BFA in Dance at the University Of California-Irvine and received her MFA from the Tisch School of the Arts, where she was honored with the Dean's Scholarship.
