"Unnerving Disequilibrium at Altitude"

Choreographed By: Rebecca McCormac

Created: 2019

Set in the Film Noir Era of the 1940s and 50s, this evening length work is an exploration of "Height Vertigo". A space and motion discomfort sensation caused by the interaction between Acrophobia and Vertigo. Two environmentally specific phobias which cause reactions to objects and/or situations the effect of which is usually a feeling of anxiety and/or anticipation.

"six plane faces"

Choreographed By: Rebecca McCormac

Created: 2018

Six sides, all square and of equal proportion, with no two faces the same.

The intramural is disentangled to reveal a periphery of six emotions. The plane faces now colored, are engaged in a game of knots where relationships and strategy are used to unravel and put back together the pieces of the puzzle.

Six sides, all square and of equal proportion, with no two faces the same.

"Surface & Skin"

Choreographed By: Rebecca McCormac

Created: 2017

“Surface & Skin” investigates the parallel universe between the human body and architecture. Shapes of light invade chosen spaces, telling their story through the decomposition of movements and kinetics. Lines are drawn and structures built in a malleable and transient way to yield functionality and exploration. The human body and architecture are engaged in an interplay, each adapting to find the right balance where they can meet, exchange, part ways and influence one another.

In developing this work I have come to the conclusion that the relationship between architecture and the human body is as much about being “still” as it is about “moving”, whether that be physically, emotionally or spiritually.

"Strait-waistcoat"

Choreographed By: Rebecca McCormac

Created: 2016

"Strait-waistcoat" explores one woman’s struggle with restraint. Through different measures and conditions she is held unemotionally and dispassionately under control or within limits. Clothing and imagery depict her confinement and bodies and space her constraint. She is coerced to question what lies between the lines and hypothetically so are we.

"FORCED"

Choreographed By: Rebecca McCormac in collaboration with Rehearsal Director; Kate Bishop

Reworked: 2016

“FORCED” is a vigorous investigation of the bodies’ capacity to do work, in order to cause physical change. By allowing bodies and tactile objects to interact/react in the space, we are able to change the motion of an object. “FORCE” allows the viewer to see what is happening and question why

Choreographed By: Rebecca McCormac

In essence, Grief is reactive!
