Since its founding in 2022, vildwerk. has collaborated with artists including those from New York City Ballet, the Royal Ballet, the Martha Graham Company, San Francisco Ballet, Buglisi Dance Theatre, and American Ballet Theatre, alongside organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund, the Turtle Conservancy, Re:wild, and Nature and Culture International. Artists work directly with these conservation partners during the creation process of new works of dance, gaining a deep understanding of what is happening in the field and bringing that knowledge to the stage.

Now in its second season, vildwerk. presents Dancing for Our Wonderful World, December 17–20 at New York Live Arts. Each work in the season highlights a different theme—from the Amazon to the oceans to the hidden networks of mycorrhizal fungi. vildwerk. is here to inspire the hearts of the audience and move them to feel the wonder of our planet, to recognize the urgency of its protection, and to leave each performance ready to care for the world we all share.

Through compelling dance works and cross-disciplinary collaborations, we aim to inspire, spark awareness, foster dialogue, and mobilize communities to protect our planet for future generations.

Hivewild performances feature elements of contemporary dance, gestural movement, and interpretive interplays between speech and sound. Maxwell’s choreographic ethos is grounded in the cyclical nature of relationships, community ecosystems, and the symbioses between humanity and the Earth. Audiences can expect to engage with artistic narrative that is sincere, guttural, earned, and fundamentally rooted in the principles of radical inclusion and lifelong curiosity. Endemic to each Hivewild work, and the processes that create them, are strong senses of dignity, interconnectivity, and playfulness. Hivewild is an invitation to experience, feel, and be – embodying a broader bandwidth of what it means to be alive.

Her work, recognized and acclaimed by the French Ministry of Culture, earned her the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2015, and Officier in 2024.
