Chase Brock’s choreography is incredibly specific, creating clear patterns for living that need no dialogue or further explanation. The specificity of the dance, mixed with Brock’s theatrical staging and heartfelt storytelling, sweeps you away on this journey. Combined with Eric Dietz’s moving original score, performed live by a trio helmed by Rob Berman, the complexities of emotion and machine are effortlessly mixed to follow the shocking twists this story takes. With movement vocabulary ranging from finger pulses to walking patterns to technical ballet, Brock pulls from his entire tool box to differentiate between humans and robots, and to blur the lines between both.”
-Theatre is Easy

Lithe performers and Brock’s ace deployment of top of the line visuals also contribute to the production’s. Perhaps Brock’s most dramatic and expressive work illuminates Oliver’s several times spent working away in virtual reality as his head, shoulders, arms, hands, and fingers rapidly gesticulate in flurries that lift and spin the rest of his body with centrifugal forcefulness. Meanwhile, Dietz’s enjoyable post-minimalist score shimmers and pulsates with an echoing, electronic sheen as the music drives the story forward with anxious energy. Keyboards and strings, performed live and mixed with prerecorded music, render the attractive, Philip Glass-y score with a satisfying fullness of sound under the musical supervision of Rob Berman, the music director of the Encores! series at New York City Center.”
-NY Stage Review

The members of The Chase Brock Experience are, indeed, attractive and also mighty good dancing actors, perfect performers for Brock’s psychological and emotional work, his most complex work as a modern dance concert choreographer.

… leading to an denouement that is staged with beautiful simplicity, reminiscent of the ending of Jordan Harrison’s Marjorie Prime, another work dealing with cyborgs and emotional memories.”
