Princeton University Premiere: “Caesura”

Caesura was created in collaboration with students and composer Ryan Wolfe. Caesura refers to a pause or break in a line of text or phrase of music and this dance engages with now: what is this moment of coming back to spaces with people? What is it to feel eye contact? What is it to see a whole body before you? Returning from the pause has changed how we navigate space, time, and each other. Caesura revels in contrasting the formal, stilted style of online conversation with the free-from nature of casual conversation; and the isolation of individuals with hurried, rhythmic intertwining of people passing in space.
