What does rigor look like? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? With the dance world and academia obsessed with proving rigor for validated support, Sounds Like Rigor questions what the physiological and physical implications are in performing rigor for the gaze of others. This dark comedy, dance theater work pushes its performers to the limits of physical exhaustion and tests the limits of audience uncomfortability. Sounds Like Rigor was created in collaboration with the dancers at the Kentucky Governors School for the Arts and premiered at the Singletary Center for the Arts on the campus of the University of Kentucky in July 2024.
