Jessica Gaynor Dance is a modern dance company based in Brooklyn NY. Founded in 2003, the company, hailed for its “risk-laden” (DIY Dancer) choreography and “sophisticated approach to pure dance,” (The New Yorker), performs Gaynor’s works that utilize kinetic physicality, intricate patterning, and formal structures in an exploration of the complexities of human experience.
The Location of Figures is inspired by the art and ideas of American born conceptual artist Sol LeWitt, specifically his Incomplete Open Cube series. Dancers move through the square space as the floor is divided and subdivided, many times over. As intensity builds and more and more dancers occupy an increasingly smaller space, Gaynor considers how relationships between the dancers (or figures) shifts depending on continually changing spatial boundaries. How many people does it take to make a structure, and how few are needed before it crumbles?
