SUPER WE is a 8 min duet created and performed by Raja Kelly and Tzveta Kassabova. The worked premiered at Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, DC2013 and was performed at St Marks Church, Danspace Project, NYC 2015
SUPER WE was performed by Shannon Healey and Daniel Morimoto and was selected to present University of Florida at ACDF Gala concert at Kennedy Center, 2014. Super WE is a movement journey that parallels the relentlessness of contemporary life. Rapid and interminable, the performance relies on rhythm as movement, as sound, as pattern, and as metaphor. The collaborators highlight the complexity of human interaction, both through and with each other and through and with space. |
'Last Thursday, that care was most evident in the dancing itself, humble yet hyper-aware. Each piece contained echoes of the others — have we seen that pathway, that lunge, that embrace before? — in a way that seemed more intentional than incidental.'
SIOBHAN BURKE, The New York Times
'With her halo of curls streaming behind her, she heaves and flings her body: an angel trying to loose the demon inside. Her spastic volatility, riveting in its purity, finally exhausts itself as, in a smudge of hazy light, Kassabova pulses into an expansive split....
Less human beings and more magical creatures dropped in from a world infinitely gentler and wilder than ours, the two (Kassabova and Kelly) treat space like paper: With limbs functioning as scissors, they slice and dice air into origami, occasionally collapsing into each other’s arms or flopping onto the floor, their energies exhausted, but only for that moment.'
