HOVER FOR SOUND
Roderick George’s DUST is George's inaugural work as an artistic director and founder of kNoname Artist. This work caters to the transitional atmosphere of George and his creative associates, their career in Neo-Classicism, the future of dance, and the variables between the ideas of binary aesthetics. The creation pulls from the interaction of the dancers' background and the cross-lateral ideas of social dances between times, such as the 15th-century analysis to the 21st-century connection of the four men. George demonstrates his choreographic voice in this new work by using a queer lens of the cultural clash of aesthetics, bodies, music, generations, and appreciation.
“As humans, we design our lives in transactions through cultural, artificial, social, familial, instinctual, animalistic exchanges. These constant variables and replacements instill a sense of purpose... or confusion.”
