Hadley RobertsonHostI think interestingly where I used to come from with dance was I grew up in like a really conservatory which is like more modern dance era but I also was in the ballet world and so like technique was also really important for me but I don't think I grew up doing a bunch of a bunch of shapes and lines and really understanding pictures he talks about like 2D which is really showing the full part of your body from the front and like he always uses this reference of like if you were on stage and someone snapped a picture of you and you're holding a picture would you fully see that I feel like I learned to incorporate more structure into my movement because when i'm dancing myself i'm more free i like to be a little bit more um kind of just let my body move a little bit exactly but i have learned to incorporate okay how can i still be myself in that way but naturally that's just become something that i've learned to do in my own movement totally
we work together a lot in the same capacity, but we also do a lot of things separately.
And for her as a dancer, it's a different kind of competitiveness than a choreographer, essentially.
It's two different things where I just remember being a dancer and being, I don't know, we were both so competitive.
But it's exciting now to be in this position where we can go and do this project on our own, basically, and have our own experiences.
Because people always ask us, like, why aren't you competitive between the two of you? I'm always like, why would you be competitive? It wouldn't work.
