When the Clock Strikes Me – Greg “Krypto” Selinger
(6 minutes)
One Day Sooner – Greg “Krypto” Selinger
(10-25 minutes)
He harnesses the spectacular power moves of break dance by exhausting his physical strength and exploring his limits of bodily contorsion. But this seasoned creator-performer shuns bravado for its own sake, preferring a sincere investigation into the intricate connections between prose, movement and the deeper meanings of life on earth. By brainstorming and bodystorming in search of resonant movements to embody the hip-hop poetry of Saul Williams and his own written texts, this futurist seeks to share with us some of the Big Ideas from the fields of quantum physics and the philosophy of consciousness. Can we reverse the aging process? What steps can we take to assure that our species thrives throughout eternity? Words fly and reverberate joyfully throughout his body. We laugh and we ruminate. He transforms himself, leaping, contorting, and exploding in an acrobatic virtuosity. Can a dance performance bring us to see the world with new eyes?
In your Presence: Injoy + In Focus
Daniel Wook Jun
(25 minutes)
His Korean name means “to make light.” Wook is the choreographic and existential mission of this keen dancer. This is dance as a form of worship, seeking to bring both performer and audience onto the wavelength of some form of higher power. On stage, the dancer’s electrified body is transformed into a vessel for the exploration of worship, through which his dancing takes us on an intense spiritual quest to find truth, peace, and freedom. Combining a mystical animalistic essence with the street dance elements of waving, popping, animation and gliding, his idiosyncratic dancing proposes an interplay of robotic and organic movements. This virtuosic, physically challenging choreography is shaped within vivid pools of light, punctuated by powerful voices and energized by an eclectic mix of sounds ranging from gospel to trap. A transcendent experience awaits spectator-witnesses to the cypher that is InJoy.
