Three of Nashville’s most fearless choreographers debut vibrant new dances that explore personal identity and both inward and outward reflections. With her original solo piece “This Is a Good and a Bad Dance,” delightful performer Emma Morrison unravels the effects of time in a performer’s body, showing contradictory moments of feeling simultaneously too young and too old, experiencing playfulness yet confusion – only to discover that she contains it all.
In her newest solo work “Rapt,” Becca Hoback fills the stage with her riveting presence, transforming herself from a defensive, almost predatory creature to one that is soft and free. The new work, including an original rhythmic electronic score by Ignacio Nieto Carvajal and an operatic aria sung by local vocalist Sangeetha Ekambaram, features stunning costume design with a spectacular reveal at the music’s crescendo. Finally, dynamic choreographer
Asia Pyron and her star-studded PYDANCE crew close out the evening with "EGO," a new collaboration with local punk band SNOOPER. This fresh, comedic dance-theater piece unpacks the exhaustive journey towards success undertaken by experimental artists. The incisive group piece perfectly closes out the trio of danes, wrestling with themes of self-belief, ambition, delusion – and the labor that it takes to make it all possible.
The creation of Becca Hoback's "Rapt" was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.
