The New York Times has described Mansur's work as "a tour de force of authoritative, evocative performing, its kaleidoscopic physical imagery voluptuous, elegiac and whittled keen from moment to moment."

As a contemporary dance artist my ongoing interest is in experimental multi-media performance. I enjoy the fluidity and uncertainty of setting dances in a wide range of traditional, non-traditional and site specific environments which have included: theaters, galleries, parks, street corners, apartments, train stations, empty storefronts, fields, rivers and other venues throughout the Washington, DC Metropolitan area, as well as in New York City, England and Argentina.

I have been curious about movement throughout my life. I have been making dances for over 20 years. In 2002 I started mansurdance, a loosely organized performance project, continuing to develop multi-layered dances that integrate both improvisational and choreographic approaches, with an emphasis on the interplay of live sound and visual media, melding visual and visceral landscapes.

My performance works investigate presence within visual and kinetic layers of experience.

I appreciate the subtle and the detailed, and what accumulates quietly over time, valuing what is seen as well as what is invisible to the eye but palpable nonetheless.

I am deeply drawn to what we conceal and reveal as human beings, the dynamic relationship between our deep inner landscapes and our outer environments.

For many years I have been particularly interested in questions of identity and perception of self.

My creative work is informed by my training and experiences with post-modern dance, contact improvisation, somatics, visual arts and music, as well as short and long term artistic collaborations with performing artists, musicians, and visual artists.

"[Mansur] doesn't choreograph her dances, she paints them…[she] has an eye for color and line, a knack for coursing her dancers through the unadorned space that leaves movement trails---after-images, if you will-that linger and blend with the ensuing action onstage," (The Washington Post).
