We Can't Forget About What's His Name

Ausia Jones

Between unity and isolation, We Can’t Forget About What’s His Name transforms uncertainty into a driving force of freedom and joy, in a vibrant work where dance celebrates connection and movement.

We Can’t Forget About What’s His Name probes the idea of uncertainty and how it influences moments of connection. Exploring the concepts of time, community, unity, and isolation, this work reflects the extreme emotions that uncertainty creates in our lives, as well as the space it leaves for freedom and joy.

Inspired by the artistic talent of the dancers around her, by the community that social dance and family traditions have created in her life, Ms. Jones plays with this idea of connection.

With an original composition by Earth Boring, the energy of the music animates this piece and compels us to move - to persevere, to continue exploring - despite the questions and uncertainties.

“With We Can’t Forget About What’s His Name, she demonstrates her great ability to draw inspiration from current gestural languages, thus ensuring a link with the past, but also testifying to BJM's desire to always be in a state of research, not to be afraid to take risks, to explore unknown territories or to push the boundaries.”

"In this creation, the young choreographer and performer with BJM unites groove and counterpoint in a choreography that makes you want to start dancing yourself."

— Juliette Elie, The Offense

"The group synchronizes and desynchronizes brilliantly, and sometimes, like a breath, the robotic movements fade away to give way to others that are much more fluid and supple, like those of seaweed in the sea. Time expands. The dancers then seem to return to the vegetal essence within them."
