Silks

This piece, Joseph’s graduating thesis, is about reflecting on the past, learning from experience, and moving forward.  Inspired by his own history, he calls upon intimate and introspective moments to express a universal story.  His intention was to seamlesly integrate new techniques with innovative choreography and transitions without comprising artistic integrity.
Joseph was awarded the Jury Prize at the international Sol y Circo Festival in Sylt, Germany in 2006 for this number.  A variation of this act was performed in Nebbia, a collaboration between Cirque Éloize and Teatro Sunil.
This act can be artistically and technically altered to accommodate any performance.

Wanting to explore a different creative approach, Joseph used external sources to influence this number.  Inspired by the Kill Bill films and his obsession with Japanese anime during his adolescence, he portrays a young man seeking retribution and redemption.  He augmented his technical level and trained extensively in order to achieve this new, dynamic routine.
This act can be artistically and technically altered to accommodate any performance.
