Supported by [nueBOX] this project features three artists-in-residence Jenny Gerena (choreographer), Chazmier Tyler (musician) and Rossitza Todorova (visual artist) interested in the resonant pulse driving us to overcome life’s obstacles. This collaboration presents a dynamic performance of movement and rhythm that encompasses the cyclical patterns that emerge in our lives.
Breaking Ground Residency
This work will explores the embodiment of one's animal instincts by way of studying wolf and wolf pack behaviors and translating these patterns through the body in hopes of finding new entries into movement creating a performing movement. The use of the spinal and head initiations along with the use of quadruped movements will be thematic throughout the work showcasing the dynamic abilities of the feminine body to embody flow and articulation while simultaneously embodying strength through the connection with the ground.
