Marie Plauche'-Gustin, Artistic Director
Marie Plauche'-Gustin, Artistic Director of Bere'sheet Ballet formed the sacred dance company in 1998 after serving in other forums in the sacred dance world since 1989. Her vision was to move beyond the comfort zones of church walls, into the community, exporting excellent artistic expression utilizing many dance languages to communicate the things of the Spirit, and perform benefits for women's special healthcare needs. Bere'sheet Ballet's unique dance style developed through the melding of these many movement qualities, becoming a language in itself. Plauche'-Gustin has written, choreographed, directed and performed in four major productions for Bere'sheet Ballet: "The Genesis Ballet," "The Genesis Ballet 2," "I Can Hear God Singing," and "Restoration of Innocence-The Genesis Ballet 3." A graduate of Louisiana State University with a B.A. degree in Speech and Dramatic Arts with minors in English and dance, Ms. Gustin trained for fourteen years prior to dancing with Ballet Joyeux, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, dancing roles in "The Nutcracker" and "Les Papillion." While at L.S.U., she danced in "West Side Story," "Oklahoma," and "Funny Girl." Studies at Stephen College at Perry-Mansfield, the Pacific School of Religion, and dance instruction under such notables in the sacred dance world as Carla de Sola, Judith Rock and Cynthia Winton-Henry, led her to the Masters Certification Program under the mentorship of Dr. Jo Anne Tucker, (Hebrew Union College, New York; Artistic Director: Avodah Dance Ensemble). She will be certified as a Movement Specialist in Religious Art. Bere'sheet Ballet was named "Best Support Group" by The Houston Press in 2001. They were featured in The Houston Chronicle twice in 2000. They were also the featured guest artist group at the 2002 Sacred Dance Festival in Louisiana, where they will return in 2004.
