REPERTORY NOTES

​

RUNNER’S HIGH

A powerful display of athleticism for both the dancers and musicians, Runner’s High was commissioned for Revolve Dance Project’s Inaugural Season in 2021. The dynamic ensemble work was written by cellist/composer Daniel Hass as an expression of the euphoria felt by runners at the height of exertion. Hass’s energetic score was interpreted into stunning movement by choreographer Kurt Douglas, whose signature humanistic contemporary style reflects his background in a myriad of dance genres including the Limón technique. This performance marks the first re-staging of an original piece from the Revolve Dance Project repertoire.

​

BANDAGE AND A WOUND

Choreographer Dara Capley: This work contains some of my thoughts and feelings on intergenerational trauma and epigenetics. It has ended up being intensely personal to me, and I am profoundly grateful for such a gorgeous and committed cast, as well as the opportunity to create to music that makes me feel the full spectrum of my emotions. Collaborating with Katie Martucci has been an enormous honor (and a somewhat constant text exchange over the past few months that I will miss); her music is fueling me and the piece with such powerful lifeblood.

In dedication, collaborators Capley and Martucci said, “This piece is for cycle- breakers, cycle-starters, everyone in between, and, like many things in our lives,our parents.”

​

BONES/PHALANGES

The creation of Bones began as a collaboration between Lauren Lovette and Cameron MacIntosh crafted for the Vail Dance Festival. In 2019, Lauren and Cameron sat together in a Juilliard music room and punched out a bare bones rhythm that would accompany three other movements. After some years passed, the desire for Cameron and Lauren to revisit the original musical idea became a reality through the collaborative mission of Revolve Dance Project. That manifested in a newly choreographed duet for Kirsten Evans and Luis Ocaranza (premiering at RDP in 2024) and the desire to expand upon this work even further was shared by all artists involved. With the addition of Daniel Hass and his new movement, Phalanges, this work continues to grow in depth and, at times, exhaustion. Join us as we continue to build a body of music and movement that started with just a bare bones rhythm.

​

REVOLUTIONS

Anthony Hervey’s new composition Revolutions explores the concept of rhythm and flow—both within us and around us. He was inspired by the natural cyclesthat drive movement: our breath, our circadian rhythms, even the Earth’s revolution around the sun.

Danielle Diniz’s multitude of choreographic influences strive to embody Hervey’s ideas and highlight the simultaneous depth and intricacy of his stimulating music. The dancers, through their individual ways of using and catching their breath, find a cohesive internal tempo, resulting in a scintillating, external, at times cyclical, synergy.

​

SHE WHO SINKS

What happens after we leave this earth, when our physical form no longer moves but continues to transform? She Who Sinks explores the poetry of that process: not as an ending, but as a surrender to something greater. Rooted in the rhythms of nature, this piece considers the body’s return to the earth, where decay becomes growth, and dissolution becomes a quiet kind of beauty.

The work was born from an ongoing conversation between choreographer Jeffrey Cirio and composer Josh Knowles, an exploration of how two artists could find a shared language through movement and sound. From the start, the goal was not for one to serve the other, but to create a space where both could evolve together. The word decomposition became a central point of inspiration: a metaphor for both the subject of the piece and the organic, layered way it was created.

United by a mutual love of electronic music, Cirio and Knowles drew on its textures and atmospheres to shape the tone of the work, delicate yet distorted, rhythmic yet unpredictable.

Through movement that spirals, fractures, and reforms, the dancers embody the grotesque and the graceful, revealing a liminal space between death and rebirth. In this transformation, the body is not lost, but repurposed. It feeds, it gives, it lives again.
