Back Up Front

In 2016-2017 by Gabby

Back Up Front proposes a new hierarchal structure and brings the movements of back up dancer/singer to the forefront. This work invites the viewer to gaze at both the conformity of rhythmic synchronization found through set movement phrases, and movement scores occurring in the present which prioritize the individual. Back Up Front works through the labour of the backup dancer/singer using repetition, and interrogates ideas around spectacle and cultural production.
