The three works that make up PATTERNS are:
Right Here, Right Now
Choreographed by Kayla Hamilton and Directed by Natasha Adorlee
A meditation on perception, identity, and the many ways we experience being human. This short-film encourages us to consider what it means to see and what we choose to notice. Each dancer appears in close studio portraits and open landscapes, where different interpretations of the same description uncover the complexity of each dancer's story. The artists reimagine audio description as a narrative voice that shapes how we see and feel.
Electric Fish: bring my dead body to the surface
Choreographed by Christopher Unpezverde Núñez
The map, as a cultural symbol, has a common purpose: the description of spatial relationships. Electric Fish: bring my dead body to the surface explores these spatial and cartographic relationships from the body, its ancestry and memory as well as the events that arise from these interactions. We will generate a choreographic map from movement and language using 9 essential principles: proximity, orientation, exposure, adjacency, inclusion, coincidence, connectivity, aggregation, and partnership. Using his methodology titled Vortex, this meditative practice helps us answer the questions "what am I doing?, how am I doing?, and what do I need to change?
Exquisite Corps
Choreographed by Natasha Adorlee
Exquisite Corps is a quintet that explores the surreal, sensory experience of synesthesia, a blending of the senses where sound evokes color, texture, and temperature. Inspired by the choreographer's own lifelong experience with synesthesia, the work unfolds through a series of immersive, abstracted movement worlds that transform the way we perceive sound, sensation, and the body.

"We are very excited to present Patterns to the Bay Area and beyond," said Artistic Director Nadia Adame. "I'm thrilled that this Home Season brings together such bold choreographic voices and extraordinary performers to explore how our differences shape connection and open new possibilities when we move together."
Every body carries patterns of movement, habit, culture, identity, and history. These patterns shape how we navigate the world--they repeat, evolve, and at times constrain us. Through a series of live dance performances and a short film from AXIS Dance Company and acclaimed choreographers Nadia Adame, Sonya Delwaide, Christopher Unpezverde Nunez, Kayla Hamilton, and Natasha Adorlee, Patterns explores how individuality are expressions of the infinite ways we move and connect. Witness this celebration of humanity in motion, and experience the new possibilities that emerge.
