premiere of a new solo work “Derivations” for SUNY Purchase senior Jacob Hobson.
“As part of a larger auto-ethnographic paper and study in my BALA Senior Project, I will be
performing a new work researching dance lineages and embodied subjectivities. The movement was generated in collaboration with Nattie & Hollis, with specific choreographic devices being utilized to reflect on my own delineation of subjective experience with dance. By extension, this piece is a methodological research tool to embody my past through abstracted movement and analyze it using a new lens. With my movement curated by Nattie & Hollis, and my research guided by Kristen Karlberg, “Derivations” is the culmination of the experiences that make me the dancer and scholar I am today.”
