ka·nei·see | collective is a San Francisco Bay Area contemporary dance company directed by Tanya Chianese.

​

"Accessible and provocative, as well as unafraid to meld innovation with time-honored dance conventions," (San Francisco Chronicle).

​​​​

​​​“Chianese...draws you along a story arc with a sense of theatrical composition that's rare among choreographers more than twice her age.” (Dance Magazine)​​​​​​​

​​​"If you’re in the area, go see it and if you’re not, make a special trip. Tanya Chianese and ka·nei·see | collective are important players in the emerging contemporary dance scene." (Critical Dance)​​​​​​​
