Inspired by the writings of J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, Holden explores movement based on catching, falling, and isolation. In collaboration with the dancers, seven characters emerge; each portraying a different side of this 'catcher' and more so, a human representation of Salinger's Holden Caulfield. Within the large field of rye, an exploration begins between being safe and testing the boundaries of an imaginary cliff. Through trial and error, comfort and isolation, the seven characters travel between human gestures and abstract contemporary movement. An inquiry of self-reliance and co-dependence occurs through improvisation and individual decision-making. The honesty and presence of the dancers in Holden becomes more than just choreography, but a pure human interpretation of Holden Caulfield's unique characterization.
