QUOTIENT EMPIRIQUE (2013)

Choreographer Victor Quijada uses an artistic approach that is part character study, part compositional dissertation, to explore human relationships through a theatrical but non-expository manner.

In Empirical Quotient, he weaves together situations of dependence, rejection, empathy, and acceptance, within a complex display of athleticism and precision. Longtime collaborations with composer Jasper Gahunia and lighting designer Yan Lee Chan set the stage for Quijada's continued observations on the effects of time and experience on an individual's self perception and identity.

Over the past ten years, Victor Quijada & Anne Plamondon have developed the remarkable signature that is the hallmark of RUBBERBANDance Group. Utilizing the RUBBERBAND Method, this unique style of movement comes to full fruition in the bodies of six exceptional performers whose backgrounds range from classical, contemporary, and urban dance to circus arts.
