"Rather This, Then" dance performance by Jermaine Spivey and Spenser Theberge


Rather This, Then
A new creation by Jermaine Spivey and Spenser Theberge

this marvelous performance piece explores ideas of communication and its pitfall when we indulge in assumptions based on our own needs for validation or just our desire to control another being.

Identity perceptions are on display, are confronting the audience's role as passive observer or the dancers role to perform and entertain for a certain value which nobody has really agreed on upfront. All physical attributes are used with voice seemingly the anchor and guide that lead the mind onto a rollercoaster. My brain waves danced with the two beautiful male dancers that found a harmonic convergence in their movements that was awe inspiring. I almost went on stage to dance with them to show them how its done if its not this but that.
