2024 marks Rhythmically Speaking's 16th annual Summer production, and the 6th of the Cohort format, built to support and share four different perspectives on and via the vibrancy of jazz and American social dance ideas - a cohort of two local artists and two visiting artists - all danced by the RS cohort of company dancers. This year's production features works by the following artists:
Eboné Amos (Visiting Artist - Clarksville, TN)
Erinn Liebhard (RS Artistic & Executive Director)
Jake Nehrbass (Local Artist and Company Dancer)
Maurice Watson (Visiting Artist - Greensboro, NC)
Amos will revisit her work Welcome to Soulsville, which celebrates the music, dances and soul stirrers of the 1950s and '60s, and Liebhard will create a new work titled Conversation Piece, exploring historical dance step instructional diagrams and records as visual and auditory allegory for how conversation can unfold. Nehrbass will be creating a funk-inspired tap/jazz piece titled Sonic Leather, and Watson will be restaging his work Chasing the (1) = One, which explores individuality and artistic expression in one’s social community.
