In this episode, BEATBOX, MODERN, STREET, TAP
DANCE, AND AFRO-BRAZILIAN RHYTHM, we glimpse the creative process
within the eight WORKS & PROCESS “bubble residencies”. The artists from MISSING
ELEMENT meld beatbox, breaking, flexn, and krumping. MUSIC FROM THE SOLE works
on perfecting its “salad of cultures”. JAMAR ROBERTS shares his 17 years of
experience with Alvin Ailey’s Dance Theater to push his group to dig backward
and move forward, all in the present. EPHRAT ASHERIE jumps in with high energy
hip-hop.
Amazing talent and energy here. Enthusiasm in the face of COVID. The bubble residencies give each group a completely safe environment in which to interact. No masks needed. Freedom inside and outside in the acres of Hudson Valley greenery.
The performers’ styles are incredibly diverse and innovative. This series is the best. It turns viewers on to the ultra-modern and gives us all a much-needed jolt of optimism.
WORKS & PROCESS pioneered the “bubble residencies” in the summer of 2020. Under protocols developed with Dr. Wendy Ziecheck and ethical oversight by Dr. Robert Klitzman, artists isolated by the pandemic gathered together in COVID-free quarantine to expand their visions. The jointly subsidized residencies were produced in partnership with Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, Mount Tremper Arts, and Petronio Residency Center.
