P R E S S K I T Who We Are

We are a Los Angeles based company that is focused on creating and working on different projects that bring our methods of dance and visual arts together.

We are a fusion of Urban Dance and like you have never seen before. As a new company we want to use our time to explore our fusion of abstract breaking and Contemporary dance.

Rubberlegz’s self made abstract break style mixed with James’s background in Contemporary dance and / Urban dance is what makes our style unique. We feel that we are pushing boundaries and at the same time touching people world wide with our creativity.

Although we are from different backgrounds, we have the same views on the way we see dance and how we want to translate our two voices into one cohesive choreographic style. RubberLegz Director / Choreographer / Photographer

Duet Length: 50 min Choreography: RubberLegz / James Gregg

Premiered at Pottporus Festival in Germany in November 2017

Making its North American premiere in St. Louis in September 2018

The piece is an abstract representation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It explores the of two bodies forming one soul and the discussion between two entities inside one being. It's the battle of the euphoric high and how to maintain that sensation, and the battle within oneself and the voice of the alter ego.

With the artists’ backgrounds ranging from hip-hop, threading and breakdance to contemporary dance, this work combines all these art forms to come up with an intellectual and thought-provoking full evening work. Decay
