Artists In Flight

The Male Quartet tackles how society boxes energy by gender and dictates how dance is displayed and which qualities belong which dancers. The piece comments on how the standards of gendered energies affect attraction and repulsion with in our own bodies and our perceptions of the bodies around us. We translate specific insecurities by displaying scenes of vulnerability and we aim to heal, educate, and mold ourselves by respectful hands.

Josh Pacheco has been creating dance in New York City since 2013 and has completed more than 15 dance works. He works in collaboration with his dancers to create art that is relevant, researched, and critically thought. Below are the most recent completed works.

 
 
 

The Song and The Venom - Devices 5

The Song and The Venom is a previous work in redevelopment, rooted in the conflict between sexual expression and spirituality. The piece tracks like minded individuals resolute in questioning themselves and each other, sounding echoes of disunity from beneath an edifice of homogeneity.

 

What’s the Story?

A universal expression of mistrust charged by the current political climate and the mid leadership of the United States. What’s the Story? investigates the distortion of thought amongst the conflict of information from news sources.

 

Pockets of Light

Pockets of light is performed in complete (or near complete) darkness and the dancers discover themselves, then each other, then the space and decide whether or not to remain in there sector of the expanse, or venture further through the dark.

 

I Have Something to Sa-

A commentary on self censorship and the validity of marginalized and targeted voices sharing their experiences with mixed racial prejudices, enforced stereotypes within the LGBTQ+ community, and objectification.

 

Drift

A solo performance choreographed and composed by Josh Pacheco exploring the feeling of flight in comparison to the feeling of dance, tossing the body and creating currents of air.
