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.
