Kinetic Architecture

 
 Rob Davidson

Described by critics as "a sturdy, joyful dancer, almost Puck-like in his sense of mischief,” he is a former member of the Seán Curran Company (NY), and has studied on scholarship at the Pennsylvania Ballet and at Gus Giordano’s Jazz Dance Center Chicago. Major performance credits include the International Jazz Dance World Congress, the London Tour of the Musical Drama “Texas,” and the New York engagement of Ballet Preljocaj’s “Paysage apres la bataille.” Rob received his M.F.A. in Dance from Sam Houston State University, and currently serves as an Assistant Professor at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.

The Company

KineticArchitecture, a not-for-profit, (501c3), professional dance company performs in New York and surrounding areas regularly.  Founded in 1994, the company brings to the stage their unique brand of sculptural, sensual partnering and Buster Keaton-meets-Butoh style and strives to present work that is socially relevant, athletic, visually stunning, and artistically progressive.  Claudia La Rocca of The New York Times wrote: “whether it was his perky black tutu or his nipple rings, Mr. Davidson's plumage apparently did the trick; after a series of arduous and surprising lifts, he ended up in his partner's arms."  The work of the Esther Williams of post-modern dance has also been called “Blistering parody” and “Hilariously depraved” by Lewis Whittington of Ballet-Dance Magazine.  The company has been presented most notably at the 92nd Street Y, Dance Forum, Peridance, WAX, the Imagine Festival of the Arts, Galapagos Artspace, the D.U.M.B.O. Dance Festival, COOL Dance Festival, and Dharma Road in New York; the Connecticut Meets NY Dance Festival, at Diverseworks/Houston, the JCC of Houston, the Big Range Dance Festival/Texas, as well as the Weekend of Texas Contemporary Dance; DanceHouse/Philadelphia, nEWFestival Philly & The Philly Fringe.
