Jordan Fuchs Company Torsion (2017)

Torsion is a 20-minute trio choreographed by Jordan Fuchs that emerges from experiential movement explorations of the pelvis and the body’s connective tissue, the fascia. These explorations recreated from video, create a unique movement vocabulary, hypnotic in its cycles and vivid in its clarity, a space of energizing subtlety and heightened awareness.

Theater Jones Review

“Torsion shifted this upbeat tone into a calmer, more surreal atmosphere as a trio of dancers in muted, primary colors slowly grew apart through snapping distal lines and striking stillness. Choreographed by Jordan Fuchs, the movers held their focus forward intensely, even as they allowed their legs, arms, and momentum to pull them in different directions. Matching the ambient notes in the musical score, the dancers smoothly swiveled their pelvises through the space with curiosity.” Full Article
