RAWDance Pairings- An Intimate Showcase of Contemporary Dance

RAWDance Pairings: An Intimate Showcase of Contemporary Dance

RAWdance is an award-winning contemporary dance company co-founded by Wendy Rein and Ryan T. Smith. With roots in both San Francisco and the Hudson Valley, New York, the company is known for creating movement-driven works that explore a wide array of social, personal, and emotional themes. Drawing inspiration from the world around them, RAWdance is particularly celebrated for its site-specific performances, innovative choreography, and groundbreaking conceptual work that pushes the boundaries of dance as an art form.

RAWdance is joined by artist Chris Black and company Ouro and BorosDance for an informal evening of connections and confrontations through contemporary dance. From a duet of two men in love (or lust) inspired by a found historical image, to an abstract physical exploration of polarity, oppositional impulses, directions, and forces, to a glimpse into a personal connection between a dance-maker and a place frozen in memory, Pairings celebrates the idea of dance as a bridge, playing in and expanding the idea of what a duet can be and what it can evoke. Bridges in their own rights, the dance-makers on the program all share a bi-coastal artistic identity as current Hudson Valley residents with history in San Francisco.
