AUDIBLE (2009) -

Press Kit Available Here - Please contact the collective for further information and photos.

In this new collaborative work, five rambunctious performers jump, dive and collide to create a rough-and-tumble dance, transforming today’ s hyper communication into a highly athletic contact sport. With the increasingly electronic social culture, AUDIBLE explores and exaggerates the overwhelming and often abrasive changes to how we chose, or are now forced, to connect. Building on such ideas as data-addiction, life-casting, “friend-ing” and online voyeurism, the dancers escape the vulnerability of face-to-face interactions, then carelessly hurl themselves through space, spinning out of both reality and control. With the collective’s unique integration of forms comes a raw and energetic dance that investigates a replacement of social skills, the dislocation from immediate surroundings, and the craving for all that is left behind.

Duration: 65 Minutes

Performers: Lisa Gelley, Sasha Kozak, Shay Kuebler, Josh Martin and Maiko Miyauchi


TOLD HIM TWICE (2008) -

The 605 Collective’s “Told Him Twice”, a traditional duet, plays with patterning and cycles as well as connections and disconnections found in a constantly changing relationship. This is a seemingly infinite struggle between two people to reach the same level of presence, trust and care inside the unavoidable never-ending game of “give and take”.

Duration: Approx. 6 Minutes

Performers: Lisa Gelley and Josh Martin

Music: “I Think I’m Getting Married” - Dosh


ONE CONSTANT (2007) -

The 605 Collective’s “One Constant” integrates many dance styles to form a fun and fast paced look at six performers being pushed and pulled by time. Even common courtesies are thrown out the window during their preoccupation with the constant force taking over the movement. Combining heavy beats with pounding floorwork, the dancers are forced to rush and ignore each other. They stress and anger, reaching a point of unnecessary conflict.

Duration: Approx. 12 Minutes

Performers: Jessica Fletcher, Lisa Gelley, Sasha Kozak, Shay Kuebler, Josh Martin and Maiko Miyauchi

Music: Aphex Twin and Dj Shadow (Re-mixed by Shay Kuebler)
