Choreography by Tori Youn and Jonathan Hsu Filming by Hamza Bakkach Edited by JHsu media Music: "The Lung" by Hiatus Kaiyote “The Lung" captures the essence of release after hardship. The vision for this piece is the representation of a soft and slow exhale that provides the necessary resilience to guide us through life's obstacles. This choreography fuses waacking, a form of unfettered expression born from the 70's gay club scene in LA, along with elements of modern dance floorwork. Created originally as part of Exquisite Frames curated by Dance Place

Remnants is a bridge to the stories that we have been told since we were young and the places we have still never touched. This Orange Grove Dance world premiere takes audiences on a mytho-poetic and dream-like journey that physically conjures up the visual metaphors of the inexhaustible burning hope of the human spirit. What does it mean to start over? What are the things we carry? What survives within us? What is left behind? Presented as part of the Kennedy Center's DIRECT CURRENT inaugural season.

See Waking Darkness. Waiting Light. at Dance Place January 26-27, 2019 Orange Grove Dance, under the direction of Colette Krogol and Matt Reeves, transforms the stage with its trademark virtuosic athleticism and evocative multimedia design. Waking Darkness. Waiting Light. uses sophisticated sensor technology and digital-media interaction to explore the nature of recurring dreams that tear through our homes, awakening us from sleep. “These dreams are the bridge to the stories that we have been told since we were young and the places we’ve still never touched.” Based on mythopoetic research into personal dreams and stories of one family’s migration from Cuba in 1980, Orange Grove Dance opens up new dialogues on timely themes such as migration, exodus, and transformation. An excerpt of this work won the Audience Choice Award at the 34th Annual Choreographers’ Showcase in 2017 and was described by Dance Metro DC as a “magically spun… visual tale of suspension, tension, and community within a multilayered moving painting.” Original score and sound design: Dylan Glatthorn and Jeff Dorfman. Projection Design: Mark Costello Lighting Design: Peter Leibold

The OPEN BOX Project is a brand-new evening-length collaboration between Rogue Collective and Orange Grove Dance featuring compelling music and dancing. Performed in the vast tunnels of Dupont Underground, the architecture serves as rich inspiration for this interactive evening, which explores how space, material, light, and sound affect the experiences and actions of their inhabitants. Influenced by American minimalism and popular music the string players of Rogue Collective blend their sounds and creations with the dynamic, virtuosic, and visually athletic choreography of Orange Grove Dance. Performances @ Dupont Underground December 8, 8pm December 9, 8pm December 16, 8pm December 17, 2pm Video shot and edited by Oliver Mertz

This is a trailer of the first iteration of Un castell built for two, which is a new evening length dance work, paralleling the precarious balance of human tower building and the powerful connections it brings to it's participants. This piece is profoundly inspired by our recent residency work in Llorenç Del Penedes, Spain, where we were able to witness the deeply moving construction of human towers during the fiesta major celebrations of the region. Tonight’s events use the embodied knowledge of contact improvisation and partnering work to explore new methods of weight sharing, relationship, and interdependence to make us ask the question of where the physical metaphors of tower building exist in our own community. This new work is a step in our process to find them. “It's about weight. It's about the weight of our bodies. It's about holding each other and building. Where are our castells in our everyday relationships? What are we building? Who are we supporting?” CHOREOGRAPHY Colette Krogol & Matt Reeves In collaboration with dancers. GRACIAS ESPECIALES CeRCCa Residency Pau Cata Marina Saura Joaquim Sicart Bertran Maria Vall Camell Ignasi Perez Galan Alba Vinyes Lasso SPECIAL THANKS Brooke Kidd, JME’s Founder and Executive Director, for making this performance possible and bringing us into the space. Miriam Phillips, for guiding our process and approach to the dance research involved in the work.
