Dance
Tectonic
original choreography by by Alex Policaro, BFA, Glorya Kaufman School of Dance
original composition by Kayla Behforouz and Theo Haber, Thornton School
“The intention of her piece was to re-create the image of an earthquake. Movement ideas were gathered around the sensation of tectonic plates shifting beneath the surface. She experimented with the effects that this natural phenomenon may have on movement. Both of the dancers in the piece, Edward Oyarce and Win Mccain, are also dance majors as a part of the class of 2021. In terms of their relationship in the piece, they are both very interdependent on one another in this life or death situation. Alex wanted the music to reflect the build of an earthquake as well as the end, consisting of chaos and subtly.”
