Unmasked

Choreography by: Emmy Portnoy and Isabella Lopez

Song & Artist: Poker Face by Lady Gaga

Description: Unmasked is a dance of contradictions—a masquerade where the struggle between deception and truth clash, and opposites collide in ways never seen before. By intertwining the rhythms of tap with the intensity of jazz, our piece creates a conversation, an argument between two seemingly opposing styles. In this battle, power dynamics fluctuate as dancers push and pull between controlling and surrendering to each other. Each movement becomes a challenge as tensions rise. Does the mask truly conceal or reveal? In the final moment, we are left with the truth—bare, exposed, and unmasked.
