Dance like no one likes you

A one-man show that details the plight of a freelance dancer lost in the gig economy and his mundane interests.  Delve into the politics of the dance world, marvel at Sean's sparkling résumé (you'll get a copy), and witness his long-lasting admiration for Japanese pop stars in action.

Yet another semi-autobiographical dance-chat in a series.  This time with choreographic contributions by the masters.
Performed March 23, 2018 at Meet The Naked Stark at the Children's Community School of West Philadelphia (Philadelphia, PA)

Event Space

A continuation of research on pop vocalists' dance routines, the work investigates these choreographies made for mass consumption.  Experimenting further, this piece draws together and scrambles both simple and complex passages of established works to extract the endurance, precision, and familiarity of the formulaic structures present in contemporary idol choreography.
Performed February 26, 2018 at the Leah Stein Studio Works Series at The Art Room (Philadelphia, PA)

Halation

A dance full of under-produced pop song demo track, classic idol movements, and performance patterns of varying specificity. Performed as a set, these song-and-dance numbers embody myriad inspiratory and provocative ideals.  With added text.
Performed November 11 and 12, 2017 for the ETC Performance Series at the Community Education Center (Philadelphia, PA)

It's pointless to decide which cloud is floating faster

A solo score built around honesty, authenticity, and sincerity, but not necessarily employing these attributes on the body.
