About the work:
In this dance, I investigate the idea of repurposing material from my past dances. A process that began as individual solo works slowly developed into a group piece exploring what happens when both new and previously-performed movements and concepts are put into the same space, combined, built upon, and transformed.
About the artists:

Most recently, he has collaborated with the choreographers Donna Uchizono, Stacy Spence, Chloe London, Ryan McNamara, Maya Lee Parritz, Sharleen Chidiac, and John Jasperse, among others.
