My work in choreography has had me \u2018dancerunning\u2019 through the streets of Cairo, counting votes of the audience as they chose the outcome of a dance, and using my face to animate a Francis Bacon painting.<\/p>\n
I am interested in finding the appropriate form in order to express a particular concept, and as a result, my pieces are very different in look and structure. I try to find an unexplored angle, and through reading, research and observation, express a unique point of view. I use various corporeal and theatrical modes, and therefore my work has been referred to as pure dance, theatrical dance, experimental theater, performance art, mime, and even stand-up comedy. It is my attempt to freely combine those disparate elements in indoor and outdoor settings, in solos and group pieces, to create a dance-going experience that escapes strict categorization.<\/p>\n
I tend to be drawn to the following four topics: the onstage verbal and corporeal discourse on dance analysis and dance history, the embodiment of digital movements that exist in our media-driven society, the relationship between art and the public, and, in the \u2018dancerun\u2019 series, the analysis of similarities and differences in the worlds of dance and sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
