The Brian Brooks Moving Company is, as its name suggests, all about
moving. Brooks developed his audacious movement style as a dancer with
MacArthur “Genius” Elizabeth Streb and has gone on to “shatter
conventional notions of the human capacity for strength and
endurance” (Dance Magazine). As a Creative Research Fellow with the
UW, Brooks investigates the intimate spaces between bodies on the
stage and within the virtual space created by immersive technologies.
The program includes three world premieres: a solo for Brooks, and two
ensemble works, one set to Partita for 8 Voices by Pulitzer
Prize-winner Caroline Shaw. Co-commissioned by Meany Center. Brian
Brooks’ choreography is a kind of external exploration of human
limits. He imparts his work with the sensibilities of both a
laboratory scientist and a visual artist. — Dance Magazine
