"Current" Choreography Preview: "Undertow" by Brad Elkins
"Undertow" is a five person composition by rookie composer Brad Elkins with direction from Sara Mae Hnilica. It is to the song 'Belispeak' by the electro pop duo Purity Ring, in which a fever-dreaming girl speaks to her grandmother on what she believes is her last day. Meanwhile, the dance follows a girl's struggle to survive in a churning sea which is personified by two aqua draped ladies. The two gentlemen represent the girl's strength, resilience, and the fight for life to persist. Following deep bass and a raucous synth track, this dance tests the performers athleticism and rhythm in an effort to honor crushing death and life's unwillingness to quit in three short minutes.
