Is This Really You? (2020)

choreographed by Kelsie Washington

XIII: Is This Really You? is fixed media piece by Eliza Gelinas written for and choreographed by Kelsie Washington, a senior choreographer at The Hartt School of Music.

It was premiered on Antithesis, a Hartt Senior Dance Production, 2019 along with other collaborations and solo works. The music begins by captivating dancers and dictating their moves with its robust industrial rhythms and sound palette. As the dancers help each other break free from its uniform grasp, the music moves into freeform territory and blends acoustic instruments with wisps of electronic effects and voice.
