CRUNCH (2009)

February 2009

Presented as part of Evolution, The Place, London


A commentary on men’s roles in our society, juxtaposing feminine qualities with masculine standards, this highly physical piece is comical, inquisitive, and exciting to watch. A collaboration with Stacy Abalogun, six men juxtapose highly feminine gestures with masculine physicality. A struggle between what is "correct" and what is "perceived." The piece poses the question, "What do you think a male role is in our day and age?"

Choreography: Shana Simmons and Stacy Abalogun, in collaboration with the dancers


Dancers:  Robert De Gregori, Tom Picken, Chris Vann, Ryan O’Neill, Ian Dolan and Simon Wehrli
