My Hat Instead of Myself

"My Hat Instead of Myself" (2015) puts movement invention at the forefront through the fusion of modern dance and hip-hop techniques. The content of the piece was inspired by embodying the different movement qualities of house, vogue, and b-boying and how this translates to our embodiment of the clothes we wear. Putting on the hat transforms our personaes.

Dancers: West Chester University students Darius Johnson, Morgan Miller, Courtney Byrne, Veronica Aten and Jennifer Meckley.
