The Jobs Project
RealLivePeople(in)Motion, a company known for creating accessible and inventive contemporary dance, takes on the workplace with their latest piece, The Jobs Project. With original music from composer Ilan Isakov (composer of the hit film, "Ai Wei Wei, Never Sorry") and set design by local artist Andrea Caldarise, the company transforms the Latvian Society into a space where audience members can absorb, laugh and reflect upon what work looks, sounds and feels like in Philadelphia today.
Seamlessly interwoven through the piece are the voices of the 25 working Philadelphians interviewed by director Gina Hoch-Stall: from CEOs to sanitation workers, all discuss their working lives and how their jobs affect their sense of identity. These interviews have inspired choreographic segments filled with heavy lifting, gestures honed by the precision of repetition, and physical explorations of how people respond to the question "what do you do?"
ABOUT US:
RealLivePeople(in)Motion is a Philadelphia-based dance company that explores human experiences through firsthand stories and unspoken gestures; we focus on the spaces between, the quick look away and the light tap on the shoulder. Our work strives to balance inventive, athletic movement with poignant and provocative interactions that resonate with an audience. We tackle our subject matter from multiple perspectives, collaborating with composers, artists and filmmakers and even incorporating our audience's opinions and stories into the work in real time. For us the work is about being human onstage part performance, part real-life.
