RAD | Renay Aumiller Dances
Holding Space
RAD | Renay Aumiller Dances has gained a strong and steady national and international presence with their thought-provoking performances displaying keen wit and fluid physicality. Founded in 2012, the North Carolina project-based and is comprised of professional dancers from the area known for their technical and creative capacities. Their concert dance performances have been presented in 15 national and over 30 regional festivals, including 7 self-produced performances in traditional and alternative venues. RAD’s recent dance film collaborations responding to the intricacies of pandemic life have gained international presence in Sweden, Canada, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom. In 2020, the need to support one another has never been more apparent. Holding Space, our duet presented in this year’s DUMBO Dance Festival, explores how two dancers can uniquely connect even when physical distancing keeps us from coming together.

Jessica Michal / Moves
ninefive
Jessica Michal is a professional dance artist based in the New York/New Jersey area. Originally from Robbinsville, New Jersey, Jess attended Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts to earn her BFA in Dance Performance in May 2021. Her work studies the connection between the human body and the infinite mind. Rooted in intimacy and vulnerability, Jess focuses on the complexities of the human experience with an aim to not answer, but instead, question more deeply the intricacies of this mind/body relationship. “Exhaust Me” takes viewers on a ride through control versus chaos, expansion versus contraction, and structure versus freedom. Through movement of the body and motion of the camera, this film challenges us to consider the multiplicity and multidimensionality of the female being.

In moderation

Most recently she was awarded 1st Place in Salt Contemporary Dance Company’s, Shape Choreography Festival. Passarelli is thrilled to be a part of the Virtual Dumbo Dance Festival, presenting her work, In Moderation. An exploration of femininity in a time of vast societal shifts, In Moderation examines the relationship between free will and femininity. Set to Tchaikovsky’s driving melody, this work slips between soft and harsh; asking of itself what it means to be feminine, and how to shift that narrative.

forma

In summer of 2019, he studied in Los Angeles with Diavolo: Architecture in Motion. “forma” was inspired by his short time at Diavolo, as well as one of Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest work; The Vitruvian Man. This thrilling and athletic piece begins in a museum filled with life-size sculptures that are brought to life to test the limits of the human body through daring rolls, dives, and flies. The dancers begin by exploring how their bodies can fit together before truly testing their own limits.
