Described as America’s dancing daredevils, this thrill-seeking company will be leaping from large set pieces with the grace of ballerinas and skateboarding across the stage like extreme sportsmen through the double bill Architecture in Motion inspired by urban design and cityscapes.
Architecture in Motion opens with a sequence called Trajectoire set on a 21-century galleon. Like a ship on the waves, the 17-foot-long structure rocks back and forth as the dancers are catapulted across the stage, while the second piece, Transit Space references Southern California’s skateboard culture and the 2001 documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys. Set in a skate park, the dancers move about the stage with the speed, fearlessness and determination of extreme sportsmen.
