Victor Quijada's choreography blurs the boundaries between urban, contemporary and classical dance. In Gravity of Center he has succeeded in containing the ferocity of hip-hop in a perfectly refined choreographic language.

Inspired by social issues stemming from the contrast between abundance and scarcity, the five dancers - a family, a nomadic tribe or an entire people - interweave, fight, crave and hustle in an astonishing fluidity of action. Between dynamic rhythms and physical prowess, the company's unique vocabulary is the epicenter of this work.

'Like a brilliant mad scientist of dance, Victor Quijada has mixed forms and styles and emerged with a gorgeous hybrid of hip-hop, contemporary dance and ballet that transcends its parts and become something entirely new.' (Times Union, Albany, NY)
