Why does some music feel like fuel for your body? That’s the question Esoteric Dance Project’s co-artistic director, Christopher Tucker, asked himself while getting pumped up by pop music on his morning bike ride to work—and it’s the foundation for his piece in the new program “Correlated Mediums.” The bill of three original works is built around each of three choreographer’s ideas of how music and dance intersect, and Tucker sought to explore how musical structure shapes movement.
The third dance comes from Francesca Baron, the latest participant in Esoteric’s choreography mentoring program, who takes a sensual as opposed to a schematic approach. “She’s a choreographer who feels the music versus counting,” says Pierson-Tucker, who performs in Baron’s piece. “I’ve learned a lot about being emotionally oriented to the music.”
