Labeled Package

Labeled Package is an original creation, choreographed and performed by myself. It was made to reflect societal gender norms regarding femininity and masculinity shared between both sexes, hoping to reveal that one does not dictate the other. 

Labeled Package premiered on November 7th, 2019, and was selected to be adjudicated at the American College Dance Association, where it was selected for Nationals 2020 and considered for Jacobs Pillow 2020. Labeled Package has since been selected for the Contemporary Dance Choreography Festival. 

 

Critics Review:

"Subtly poking at gender norms through iconic gestural movement choices, forceful interactions, and equitable costume choices, this duet was performed by a pair of captivating and powerful dancers. Supported by the use of a simple and focused set, the intensity of their performance, as they peeled away their suit coats and moved masterfully through intricate partnering sequences, fostered a sense of both rivalry and interdependence. With its rich range of layers, Labeled Package told viewers much about this relationship while leaving ample space for audience imagination and interpretation." - Christopher Morgan, James Sutton, and Kehindie Ishangi.
