Number of Dancer(s): 2

Stemming from the AAPI hate crimes and initiating the development of Obremski/Works’s AAPI Support Fellowships, VISION and VOYAGER, In-Visible touches the common experience of AAPI individuals and feeling unheard, unrecognized, and unseen.

Light-print

Music: Says and Done (by Trevor Bumgarner, an original commissioned composition)

Number of Dancer(s): 3

Number of Dancer(s) for expanded version: 13

Light-Print comes from a personal discovery of what it means to be analytical, a “computer”, and factual. With hanging light fixtures, the performers begin in an underground lab facility and explore how ideas can overwhelm, ignite, and excite our conscious and collective energies. Enhanced by an original composition, by composer Trevor Bumgarner, the vast dichotomy of raw and pristine physicality amplifies the atmospheric space connecting movement, music, and production. The work also brings forward an original costume design by Keiko Obremski which is expanded upon by TMU's wardrobe department. In collaboration with Lighting Designer, Asami Morita, Light-Print allows the lighting fixtures to play as another performing character in this creation to inform, enlighten, and remind us about the importance of constant self-discovery.

The Threads Project #1 “Universal Dialogues”

Music: Prelude 6 (by Max Richter)

Number of Dancer(s): 4

Jacqulyn Buglisi collaborates with eight diverse choreographers on her newest exploration, a multi-layered world that turns to the poets for truths. Buglisi believes that there is a gravitational awakening as our beautiful planet and societal order are unravelling. A time to thread new stories of courage and hope. The first of the two-year project, “Universal Dialogues” draws inspiration from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaiming that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights... in a spirit of Community.” Each choreographer weaves their unique poetic voices, expressing and revealing the strengths and vulnerabilities of what makes us human.

“Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going.” – Rilke

The creation of The Threads Project #1 “Universal Dialogues” is made possible through the generous support of Jody and John Arnhold | Arnhold Foundation, The Harkness Foundation for Dance, and through public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.

StoryTold

Music: Says and Done (by Nils Frahm)

Number of Dancer(s): 8

Based on the performers’ reflections and conversations of Emily Esfahani Smith’s Ted Talk on her “Four Pillars of Happiness” (Belonging, Purpose, Transcendence, and Storytelling), Storytold is a highly collaborative creation with the performers. Every performance and run of Storytold is different based on a chance-operation structure. Within the three first pillars, which make up the sections (Belonging, Purpose, and Transcendence), a different story is told (the fourth pillar) in each run of the work due to the variety of relationships each performing artist brings to the space.

*This work was created with COVID-19 safety protocols implemented.

World premiere at Brigham Young University (December 2021).

Reunited

Music: Silhouettes (by Tambour)

RECOVER

Music: Rest (by Simon Wester)

Number of Dancer(s): 1

RECOVER, is a work that is personal. It is a desire to "return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength" with the acknowledgement that this definition of "recover" may not be ever fully available to us. We are always changing, developing, and adjusting with whatever trauma, difficulties, joys, sorrows, revelations, frustrations, confusions, emotions come our way. We must recover and can recognize that "resilience is hopeful". It also recognizes that with each recovery, there is a birth - A birth of a new self, developed self, a more mindful self. I have found many connections where this work relates directly to my life in how I recover. So it is personal and I have found appreciation and thankfulness in that.

Vanish

Live Version Music: The Mighty Rio Grande (by This Will Destroy You)

Film Version Music: Vanish (by Jarom Hansen, a commissioned original composition)

Number of Dancer(s): Fourteen

This is Obremski’s second commission, following Opportunity, at Brigham Young University and their Contemporary Dance Theatre. Keely Song, BYU CDT’s Director, approached Obremski about this theme which will connect each work within the program together: Peter Pan. Obremski took this idea and looked into the play of shadow, the relevance this has within Peter Pan, and this quote from the tale: "Of course, when you have mastered the action you are able to do those things without thinking of them, and then nothing can be more graceful." 85. In connection to this quote and the raw energy of the BYU CDT dancers, the work connects us through the lens of someone trying to connect with Peter Pan through a common relation within their shadows.

The work also has the possibility to explore how we see others, how we are seen, and how we see ourselves. Through time, these inevitably change and with this, is a deeper sense of who we can be and how this can be a celebration. Does our past really “vanish:” away or does the memory stay with us forever, always influencing us. Everyone can be recognized even if not seen.

This work was commissioned by Brigham Young University.

World premiere at Brigham Young University’s Contemporary Dance Theater’s Concert (February 2020) and the film version will be screened at the DUMBO Dance Festival (June 2021). This work was additionally restaged for Brigham Young University Contemporary Dance Theater for their 2021-2022 season and toured to Paris and Belgium.

Eneme

Music: Various Tracks from The Revenant (by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto. Edited by Jesse Obremski)

Number of Dancer(s): Twenty

Eneme is a look into how our personal desires, our minds, and our hearts, can be contradicting within us and causing conflict. We each may feel this and this allows us to then feel a connected community through this common experience. Through Obremski’s personal and emotional conflicts, this work stems to bring light to this struggle and questions it to find a way to create this into a positive internal conversation.

This work was commissioned by Earl Mosley’s Diversity of Dance.

World premiere at Diversity of Dance’s Dancing Beyond 2020 (January 2020).

Ovation

Music: Stare A1 (by Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm, Benjamin Knab Remix)

Number of Dancer(s): Three

Ovation allows for conversation on how our culture can potentially praise one artist more than another; This work allows for us to see a hierarchy in applause and brings to light the affects it has on those lower in this" “hierarchy”. How much will we work to be seen? It is important for us to be seen or recognized? Ovation brings the audiences mind to this thought for them to perceive in their own ways.

This work was commissioned by Sacred Heart University.

World premiere at Sacred Heart University’s Fall Concert Imagine (November 2019).

COre

Live Performance Music: Happiness (by Jonsí and Alex)

Film Original Musical Score: Untitled (by Jack Frerer)

Number of Dancer(s): Eight

Inspired by multiple conversations within The Limón Dance Company on how we can dance together in unison without being exactly identical and a rehearsal for a Opportunity at Brigham Young University (Provo, Utah) in 2018, Core, touches base on the notion of what “unison” means to us. While rehearsing Opportunity, Obremski rehearsed the double casted quintet, side by side, and found that the physically unison stories with slight differences in intention, timing, focus, and individual physicality can explore our unique differences and universal connective tissue at the same time. While in process, Obremski took the individuality of the Obremski/Works’s dancers and embedded them into the work while sharing a physical structure to guide the two quartets, that are split by center to stage right and stage left. This allows Core to explore and dive deep into what "the words “same”, “identity”, and “unison” could mean for our culture with this physical and emotional representation and also can share how we can see things different though we can be in “unison” in our core.

World premiere at DUMBO Dance Festival (October 2019) and later performed at Diversity of Dance’s Dancing Beyond 2020 (January 2020).

Dreamers

Music: Clair De Lune (by Claude Debussy)

Number of Dancer(s): Fourteen

World premiere at Diversity of Dance’s Dancing Beyond 2020 (January 2020).

(un)covered

Music: Esferas (by Divan Gattamorta)

Number of Dancer(s): Nine

(Un)covered explores the individuality of each dancer after exposing and literally shedding one’s clothing to reveal an inner identity. Within a more contemporary ballet language, the dancers visit relationships of competition, sudden actions, and intimidation within the fiery sound track. This is also Obremski's first "contemporary ballet" and this is an "uncovering" of what is possible for Obremski, as a choreographer, towards a broader movement vocabulary and language.

This work was commissioned by Earl Mosley’s Diversity of Dance.

World premiere at Earl Mosley’s Institute of the Arts (July 2019) performed at Hofstra University.

Layered

Music: Miller’s Meadow (by Senking)

Number of Dancer(s): Fifteen

The dancers of Gibney Dance Company's Summer Intensive 2019 were in immense collaboration with Obremski, as the work's choreographic director, for the creation of Layered. The dancers were asked to take a base phrase and implement the various qualities and movement identities that they were exploring throughout the intensive (repertory by Bobbi Jene Smith, Micaela Taylor, and Adam Barruch as well as classes by Gibney Dance Company's Artistic Associates/Co-Directors). The work speaks to all of the layers that we, as dancers and people, can add unto ourselves while exploring the possibility of showing one's own natural self, which may already be complex.

This work was commissioned by Gibney Dance Company for their Summer Intensive 2019.

World premiere at Gibney Dance Center 280 (June 2019).

Touch

Music: Untitled 3 (by Sigor Rós)

Number of Dancer(s): Six

Touch is a work that touches on the power of connection between individuals whether this be physical and/or non-physical. The work connects with moments and relationships that slip away into larger swells of the physical and emotional space. It asks the performers to be extremely aware of each other with clear initiations and connections.

This work was commissioned by Sacred Heart University.

World premiere at Sacred Heart University’s Spring Concert (March 2019).

Mistaken

Music: Shading (by Senking)

Number of Dancer(s): Twenty-Two

Through a creative residency at Fort Hamilton Joffrey Academy, in Mistaken, we are taken through the journey of an outside figure being ignored and ostracized. There is, though, a mistake within this judgement from the group. Within the work there are multiple physical conversations between the outsider and the community towards convincing them otherwise.

This work was commissioned by Fort Hamilton Joffery Academy.

World premiere at Diversity of Dance's Dancing Beyond Concert at Manhattan Movement Arts Center (January 2019) then later performed at the High School Conference (March 2019), Fort Hamilton Joffery Academy’s spring concert (May 2019), and The Jamaica Dance Festival (June 2019).

Perception

Music: Bibo no Aozora (by Ryuichi Sakamoto)

Number of Dancer(s): Eighteen

In response to the vast amounts of the political news and discussions between the US - Mexico border wall, the concept for Perception was imaged. Perception is not a direction for these discussions though it explores and shares light on the possibilities of physically removing a border, represented be a taped line, separating the audience and the dancers. With one performer beginning on the outskirts of a physically taped line, with the audience, this performer enters the space immediately acknowledging the differences between groups. The work then dives through various relationships between people to this representative line or wall. With this taped line in space, the dancers are disconnected to the audience allowing us to think on perspectives we individually want to connect to.

This work was commissioned by Earl Mosley’s Diversity of Dance.

World premiere at Diversity of Dance's Dancing Beyond Concert at Manhattan Movement Arts Center (January 2019).

Opportunity

Music: Opportunity (by Jarom Hansen, a commissioned original composition)

Number of Dancer(s): Five

Opportunity stems from a deep relationship built between choreographer, Jesse Obremski, and Brigham Young University (BYU). With various visits to BYU before this work’s creative process, Jesse felt an immense sensitivity to community and family, which then inspired the work. The work goes through the journey of a knit family of four and an outsider that has a desire to join such a community. It dives into the conversation about sharing space for others and, in doing so, how that can be truly empowering for all; How beautiful it can be when fully giving yourself to another and how one’s choice(s), when given such an ‘Opportunity’, is an incredible responsibility. In collaboration with BYU composer Jarom Hansen, this ten-minute work has an original score as well as a dance film, with videography by Scott Cook.

This work was commissioned by Brigham Young University and BYU’s Contemporary Dance Theater.

World premiere at Brigham Young University’s Contemporary Dance Theater’s Concert (February 2019), and later performed in Prague, Czech Republic (July 2019), DUMBO Dance Festival (October 2019), Paris and Belgium Tours (June 2022) and the film version screened at Arts On Site (December 2019), Detroit Dance City Festival (September 2020), Cross Move Lab December Showcase (December 2020), Final Bow for Yellowface’s 10,000 Dreams Festival (May 2021), and restged for BYU CDT 2024-2026 seasons.

Lost & Found

Music: Ekki Múkk (by Sigór Ros)

Number of Dancer(s): Twelve

Hearts of Men is a program created through and by Earl Mosley’s Diversity of Dance. This program, for boys/men of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences, creates an incredible community. Lost & Found speaks to this unbreakable community. The work speaks to the fact that even though this intensive is only in August (in 2018), the participants are forever connected by the relationships built through Hearts of Men. No matter how lost these participants may be, in their artistic or personal lives, they will always have the brotherhood and community created at Hearts of Men to support them. Always.

This work was commissioned by Earl Mosley’s Diversity of Dance.

World premiere at Diversity of Dance's Hearts of Men at The Ailey CitiGroup Theater (August 2018) then later performed at The Jamaica Dance Festival (June 2019).

Courage

Music: Says (by Nils Frahm)

Number of Dancer(s): Nine

Courage is a work that has a deep relationship with the compositional score by Nils Frahm. Within the score, the flow is a constant and builds towards a climax similar to a wave, which the dancers encompass on stage. As the dancers continually move downstage, through the entirety of the work, there is desire cultivated to go against the grain, against the waves, against the normalcy of this forward motion. The work comments on our lives as artists, where we are making choices and challenging the field, and therefore the world, to think, act, and see differently.

This work was commissioned by The University of Wyoming.

World premiere at the Snowy Range Summer Dance Festival (July 2018). It was then selected to be performed at Colorado State University (February 2019), The University of Wyoming’s Dance Concert (March 2019) and American College Dance Association (April 2019) and also selected for the American College Dance Association Gala (April 2019).

No Words

Music: No Words (by Trevor Bumgarner, a commissioned original composition)

Number of Dancer(s): Two

No Words is a dance film that has stemmed from the activism on gun control in America. The creation of this work was inspired by the impact of guns in America and asks the viewer to think further on what the next step could be in creating safer communities. The work is a fully collaborative effort between all parties of the team and has an original composition, No Words, created for this film by composer Trevor Bumgarner.

Note from the choreographer: “We, as one community, continually need to reflect on how we relate with one another. "No Words" looks to stimulate a conversation of finding respect and love for each other in a society that can easily desensitize this issue. We can quickly forget the sobering realities of these human experiences, one that may not be our own experiences but one, that still affects many humans today. The conversation begins with us all to address this difficult issue and find moments that promote love and respect for our country, our communities, and one another.”

This dance film was commissioned, filmed, and produced by The Roof Films at The Black Box Theater in The Church of the Blessed Sacrament (2018) and then presented at Arts on Site (2018), Queens DANCE SHORTS (April 2019), Lincoln Center for the Dance Films Association presented by HBO (July 2019), selected for Lift-Off Global Network First-Time Filmmaker Sessions (2019), selected for the Humanitarian Film Day in Istanbul, Turkey (March 2019), SEEQS Public Charter Schools in Honolulu, Hawaii (2020), and International World Dance Day UNESCO (IWDD) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (April 2021).

In a society that always has the newest news on the top of it’s feed, VIVID brings us back to the impactful events of 9/11 and our experience(s) into our minds.

Number of Dancer(s): Two

Chapter One is a study on perception, intention, and changing relationships.
