Underscored Proscenium Grind

This work illuminates the rhythms of the body, exploring rhythm somatically, stylistically, and sociologically. The histories embedded in the dancers' bodies act as a platform to study the hierarchies of different rhythms and dance styles. The piece recognizes the power dynamics at play regarding race, gender, and class, and attempts to dismantle normalized hierarchies.
