bana: Dancer in New York

About bana

bana is a dance artist whose work moves between club-derived rhythm and a pared-back stage sensibility, reflecting the hi‑NRG thread that also runs through their recorded output. Based in Berlin, they have appeared in performance contexts that include collaborations with Jackson Laird, including the bill titled *Jackson Laird | bana*. Their approach favors clarity over spectacle, using repetition and tempo shifts to structure the room. In New York City listings, they are most often encountered through touring programs and cross-disciplinary lineups rather than a fixed home venue.
