ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY (2021), an evening-length dance production, continues GREYZONE’s years-long investigation of the transformational power of inherited movement traditions and the creation of self within community. Melding and reconfiguring phrases from the company’s respective dance backgrounds, ASSEMBLY asks how we might honor our individual and collective pasts while forging rituals not yet imagined.
ASSEMBLY premiered at the Oklahoma International Dance Festival in August 2021 where GREYZONE was the inaugural Artist-in-Residence. Read the review of ASSEMBLY in The Oklahoman. An excerpt of the work was presented by the 92NY Future Dance Festival and the full-length NYC premiere was June 2022 at Paul Taylor Studios.
BLOOM
BLOOM (2018) explores the disruption of codified “femininity” to arrive at freer embodiments of the female form. Incorporating playful contact into formal movement rituals, the women expand the bounds of their relationships and discover authentic physicalities.
BLOOM premiered at The Dance Gallery Festival at the Ailey Citigroup Theater November 2018 in NYC, and then was performed at University Settlement as part of Dragon’s Egg Presents in December 2019.
