I could not choose three more different choreographers to put on a program than Dani, Amelia, and Joshua. Yet I also could not think of three more perfect choreographers to place side by side on a program, as their work holds a powerful sense of relation despite (or perhaps because of) their variant interests and styles.

Over the past three years, I have had the pleasure of witnessing their growth—both in ways that overlap with one another, and in ways that diverge from each other—as they have learned more about who they are as artists, colleagues, and people moving through the world. Watching their research and practices deepen, expand, and challenge them has been one of the greatest privileges of my pedagogical career.

In this concert, these three artists share a culmination of their time in the MFA program at the University at Buffalo. But, as I often remind them, I will invite you, too, to view this evening as a beginning rather than an end. Please join me in celebrating these talented artists as they cross the threshold between graduate study and the next phase of their lives as artists. If their work is any indication (and I believe it is), they all have exciting futures ahead.

Choreographer’s Notes:  This piece uses audience interaction to change the way the dancers perform through live response. We invite you to use the paper props you received to share your input when prompted!       

Program Note:  “To See and Be Seen” is a choreographic research project that reimagines the possibilities of the social spaces around us, specifically the Western proscenium stage. The piece employs chance operations, somatic grounding, and conversational active listening practices to build ongoing, improvisational connections between dancers and audience members. Relying on methods from student-centered pedagogy, the piece mobilizes the inner experience of people in the room to reveal the multidimensionality of social space. By creating together, we encourage our performance community to consider art’s potential for collective action. Audience members are encouraged to participate and play as they see fit. This piece was constructed through an ongoing mutual creative process between the University at Buffalo and PS45 The International School, and we thank all the sixth graders who contributed to the piece but could not attend/perform today.

* Special thanks to thesis committee members Prof. Chanon Judson, Dr. Rebecca Chaleff, and Dr. James Currie for their continued mentorship, and to Dr. Jennifer Gkourlias for her support in creating an after-school program with PS45 The International School in Association with this project.

Choreographer’s Notes:  Just as branches of a tree point to different directions, so also the dancer’s body can embrace dynamism. “Branches” critically and carefully asks questions, and in the long run suggests solutions based on experimental approaches on the ‘Adaptability and Vulnerability’ of Dancers and their bodies when they come into contact with new dance styles. “Branches” is performed by dancers with little or no experience or expertise in the selected styles of dance. The goal is to develop and strengthen a dancer's level of adaptability in rehearsal and performance. Sit back and relax as we take you through.
