About The Dance
The performances by Roman and her dancers/collaborators follows an on site four month company residency. LR&D move through the multileveled expanse of the CIVICORPS Center (@West Oakland BART). The rhythmic forms of dancers’ bodies vibrate with the structural elements of the building—utilizing stairs, railings, ladders, hallways, alcoves, and rooftops. The performance unfolds amidst a sonic environment of music composed and performed live by the band WaterSaw. “We create a dance that reflects the function of its architectural setting. Dancers interact with the architecture and create a vocabulary unique to the building...” remarks Roman.
