Everything looks like something. But apparently you can’t judge a book by its cover. Despite the interplay and disjunction between essence and appearance, all artistic work uses its perceptual surface (what it looks like, sounds like, feels like, …) as a means of transmission. The aesthetics of a work of art speak to the value systems of its author(s), which are in turn formed through the construction of such eternally slippery terms as beauty.
"Within between" is a new evening-length work by Jasperse in collaboration with composer Jonathan Bepler. Over a decade ago, Chris Dohse of Dance Insider referred to the “post-Jasperse style”-presupposing the presence of a “Jasperse" style. If there was (or is) such a style, what are its attributes? Conversely, what other sensibilities might lay outside that purview or even in apparent opposition to it? In defining and drawing from both sets, Jasperse seeks both to embrace and to resist the habits of his own history, to create a cross pollination or catalytic mating of sensibilities, where the work emerges out of the space between what seemed to be distinct terrains
