Robbinschilds
{Dancing
9-5},
founded in 2003 on the choreographers’ (Sonya Robbins and Layla Childs)
shared interest in performance and installation, is focused on presenting highly
visual dance works which explore the intersection between architecture and human
movement. With a particular attraction to empty places, public spaces, geological
formations, time travel and psychedelic filigree, the choreographers’
intricately structured movement vocabulary traverses through the inanimate,
human and extra-pedestrian states. In a style that is obsessive, persistent
and often humorous, robbinschilds’ observations of the human imprint on
the world are revealed.
Working closely
with their regular team of collaborators: videographer A.L. Steiner, costume
designer Ellis Kreuger, sound artist/urban planner Rosten Woo and scultptor/designer
AJ Blandford, robbinschilds strives to pursue a rich dialogue among fellow artists
in order to fully realize their original creations.
