This Feeling Reminds Me of You
FEATURING
Jordyn Santiago’s world premiere explores the deeply personal and yet universal journey from self-doubt and isolation to joy and self-love. Combining contemporary ballet, social dance, and movement inspired by house culture, this work is a vibrant, affirming love letter to femininity, queerness, and community. An original score combines high-energy house music with a new composition by New York City musician/composer Rafa.
Joan Rodriguez’s newest work is his second choreographic creation for BODYTRAFFIC, a dynamic blend of theatricality, storytelling, and kinetic precision. Called “a whirlwind of front-of-curtain performance pizzazz and back-of-curtain relationships” by Brian Fretté of Los Angeles Dance Chronicle, this world premiere highlights the contrast between the performative “onstage” and the vulnerable “backstage.” Blending Afro-Cuban rhythms, cinematic references, and contemporary movement languages, Rodriguez invites reflection on free will, rebellion, and the interconnectedness of human lives.
