New Work! Let's Go!

So once again a process begins :)
 
This time around I'm working on an all male piece.

 

I'm not too sure where I'm going with this right now. I have 5 wonderful dancers: Juel D. Lane, Telly Fowler, Donovan Herring, Keon Thoulouis, and Kevin Guy. It's really cool to be in the space with them because we're all friends :) They understand me and my process- which I sometime don't understand myself, lol!

 

I'm really interested in the theater aspect of dance, so I'm currently investigating the balance between dance and theater. In this new work, called Matchstick, I want the phrase 'dance theater' to really be evident in the movements and interactions of the dancers.

 

In this work, the dancers are placed in the space with a table and 5 chairs. Whenever I use props in my pieces, they are usually stationary. I want the look of my works to be very pedestrian. There might be simple movements here and there, but no too 'loud' where the props are propelling the dancers. I want the opposite to happen and give the audience the feeling of seeing real people interacting with each other.


We're all having a lot of fun and look forward to this new journey.
