Consensus of Forms is an evening of new dance works choreographed and performed by guest artists and Princeton seniors:
“DENIZENS,” choreographed by senior Maya Sessions, is an exploration of the dynamics of strangers existing in close proximity to one another through the lenses of collectivism, sonder, and community. Through contemporary dance and contact improvisation, the work examines how shifting perspectives of ourselves and others can shape and evolve our transient social relationships. With original music by Ryan Wolfe, the work is performed by Jacob Cowan ’29, Lori Gallo ’28, Alex Picoult ’26, Tobias Seabold ’28, Mariel Shapiro ’27, Renata Suarez ’28, and Jadi Wang ’26.
“Of Vibrance And Wonder” is a new solo work choreographed by guest artist Amy Hall Garner and performed by senior Sally Menaker that takes an adventure rooted in a festive cadence and spirited momentum. This theatrical contemporary work features artistry and athleticism combined with irresistible energy making for a captivating celebration.
“Echo” is a new solo work choreographed by Yue Yin and performed by senior Pippa LaMacchia examining cultural representation and return—how movement is generated, layered, and transformed. FoCo Technique™ is a unique contemporary form of dance movement rooted in Chinese classical and folk dance melded with the complex and diverse influences of the immigrant experience. The form grows from Yin’s own blended international background and a deep appreciation for precision, contrast, fluidity and musicality.
“Reverdie” is a new contemporary solo ballet work choreographed by Amanda Treiber and performed by senior Helena Richardson. French for “re-greening,” reverdie refers to a genre of medieval French poems, especially dancing songs, hailing the arrival of spring. Joining together ballet and natural movement, the work imagines springtime, dawn, and the “re-greening” of a forest — celebrating the beauty of life in transition (at a particularly timely moment for Helena and this year’s seniors).
A new contemporary work choreographed by Christopher Ralph set to music by Georgia Dahill-Fuchel and performed by senior Ella Colby.
