Statement of Artistic Vision,
Keith A. Thompson, Artistic Director:
I have been interested in dance’s capacity to communicate on its own, undressed. In my work, I explore form and the use of choreographic devices such as construction, deconstruction and innovation to manipulate and develop structures. I am on a trail of discovery that takes place within the moment, compositionally and conceptually. Complexity and the articulation of multiple pathways through and between spaces are a main focus. I am currently interested in investigating the fusion of theater and contemporary dance. My focus of movement investigation in dance and physical theater looks to create a connection of abstraction and narrative for the viewer. Having not previously worked with text, I’m searching for new ways to engage the action of the text into movement.
