If/Then (2019)
Choreographed by Leah Suskind
|
If/Then examines the inner workings of decision making. From merely simple to the most challenging decisions, the brain is constantly forming “if then” statements. The music, “Our Reflection,” by Max Richter, contains contrasting rhythms throughout the song that are represented through movement between the two groups in the piece. Each group’s movement qualities reflect the speed, rhythm, and dynamics featured in the music. When they come together in the partnering work, the duets are able to explore how working together and supporting each other helps when making a decision. The ability for the two groups to come together, and dance as one, with stronger more powerful movements, signifies how when people work together a greater good can be created.
