Flexicurve
Out of the Shadows
Flexicurve is a New York-based multi-faceted dance company directed by Pascal Rekoert. Through exuberant and witty choreography, the audience engages in dialogues about social issues and values. Refusing to stay “inside the box,” Rekoert has created an exciting repertory that has been performed in theaters and dance spaces in the Tri-State area and has toured the US and Western Europe. Described as “magnetic and intricate,” Flexicurve is known for its high artistic standards and innovative movement vocabulary. Out of the Shadows is a collaborative dance film created with Z Collective and is inspired by Plato's Allegory of the Cave.

Jenna Hansol
shadow realm
A native of Rochester NY, Jenna Hanlon graduated Summa Cum Laude from Slippery Rock University with a BA in Dance and a minor in Technical Theater. As a dual resident of NYC and Rochester, Jenna balances 3 careers as a professional Modern/Contemporary Artist, Theater Technician and Postural Alignment Therapist with The Egoscue Method. The excavation of the work was simple in that the writing for the work tumbled out after drawing an oracle card. The movement for 'shadow realm' was created line by line from the poetry scrawled and was cultivated for both the stage and for film.

David Appel
thank u for your support (excerpt)
David Appel has choreographed and performed work throughout North America, Europe, and in Mexico since 1973. His pieces are driven and enlivened by improvisation, as he explores the connection between codified dance languages and aspects of the movement of our everyday lives. His interest with groups is in how we find new ways to move together, individually and collectively wielding our skills and imaginations to create vibrantly danced conversations. “thank u for your support” (2019) was the latest manifestation of this activity: it sprang from an initial investigation into the idea of an “assisted” solo, as well as the reciprocal influences/interactions between and around us.

Looking Down into Time
Laurie DeVito & Dancers - founded in 1986. The pieces are autobiographical on some level and inspired by musical compositions which evoke emotions that evolve in corresponding images and shapes. “Surrender to Moving Forward” explores pulling oneself out of the abyss of profound grief due to loss of a loved one and taking the initial steps of moving forward in one’s life. “Looking Down Into Time” is based on the writings of an ancient Egyptian scholar. It explores thinking of time as a deep still pool rather than a fast flowing river. Where different sights and sound and voice and dreams were held in this deep pool where nothing was ever lost. The company has performed throughout NYC and major cities across the U.S.

Monument
Born in Reston, Virginia, Alexander Sargent is a multidisciplinary artist and Juilliard Dance alumnus. He has performed and taught internationally, and his films have won awards and festival placements around the globe. Based in New York City, he deeply cherishes the opportunity to work with individuals across a variety of mediums in order to engage in a unique artistic dialogue that is intimately tailored to the moment and the message. As an artist he continuously integrates his aptitudes in acting, digital media, music composition, and movement to create work that is genuine to the cause. He ultimately seeks to enable audiences and artists alike to self-actualize their inner-narrative through exploration, honesty, and inclusivity; working from the core belief that the arts are a keystone of a holistic human experience.
