Red Line premiered this year at Dance Camera West Festival in Los Angeles.
The flight or flight response to trauma in bodily form. Red Line examines the resilience of a Black woman in the face of allostatic load. Her reality is multidimensional, and her existence challenges the redlining of her identity. Director Irishia Hubbard Performer Miché Smith Choreographer Irishia Hubbard in collaboration with performer Camera Operator(s) Tay Camille Lynne, Virginia Boyles and Loren Degraaff Lighting Designer Arin Lynn Composer Dylan Romaine Reviews "We have decided to award an Honorable Mention to the film, Red Line, as it is a visually stunning work, which explores trauma through an intimate and compelling approach. The film draws us into the urgency of the experience, creating a powerful and effective atmosphere through intense physicality and driving, pulsating music. Although the film navigates a challenging time, the ultimate feeling is one of hope, through this carefully crafted portrayal of a woman finding her way forward and transcending her Red Line." |

muscle Memory premiered June 2021 for Smash Cut, a virtual screendance festival hosted by BlakTinx Dance Festival.
The film reflects the intergenerational ties between three women and how their memories are interwoven into their home. All of their experiences live and breathe through the walls, and are symbols of history and who they are as women. The composition was recorded in part through the use of items found around the kitchen and home. Performers Kyla Chaney, Julienne Mackey & Nicole Rivor Director, Videographer & Editor Irishia Hubbard Lighting Designer Ebony Madry Composer Dylan Romaine Production Assistant Santiago Rivera Choreography Irishia Hubbard Reviews "Irishia Hubbard’s Muscle Memory features dancers Kyla Chaney, Nicole Rivor, and Julienne Mackey moving throughout a beautiful home whose walls are lined with fascinating artwork. This is a work about women and the physical history they all share with one another in their homes. Hubbard, the Artistic Director of The Hubbard Collective, incorporates every inch and item of this colorful and wonderfully decorated house. The movement echoes the emotions that continuously shift from fun to anxiety to anger and back again. The smash cut technique used here is the speed with which scenes and moods change. It is a pleasure to watch." - LA Dance Chronicle |
