Chris Brubeck’s Band Triple Play

Tiffany strongly believes in working with living composers. Most notably, her collaboration with Chris Brubeck and his band Triple Play embodies her practice of disruption through inclusion. Their multicultural and multigenerational work highlights that the pairing is not as unlikely as it may seem on the surface. Both Tiffany and Chris understand their place as second generation artists of prominent American art forms (Modern dance and Jazz respectively). Their union proves that we are stronger together and can further traditions that have deep cultural significance.

Miles Mosely

L.A. born Mosely is a true force on the upright bass, incorporating effects pedals, his bow, his vocals, and a horn section for his one-of-a-kind forward-leaning solo projects. Mosely has collaborated with the company on a few different works:

Because I Am

Because I Am consists of solos, duets, and trios, and investigates the relationship of one’s perceived identity particularly as it relates to the world at large making judgments about us and the boxes and roles in which we are put and expected to stay.
Choreography by: Tiffany Rea-Fisher
Music by: Starman, Miles Mosley, Pavel Zustiak

Why so Curious?

The name of the piece, "why so curious?" is a phrase that is meant to evoke an emotional state, rather than describe a specific action. It was chosen because it is plain English but used in an uncommon way, which mirrors the slightly off-balance feeling and unusual and ominous setting in which the dancer finds himself.

Janelle Kroll

In 2017 Tiffany Rea-Fisher collaborated with singer Janelle Kroll and choreographed her music video titled “Barricade.”

Daniel Bernard Roumain

Daniel is known for his signature violin sounds infused with electronic, urban and African-American music influences. He has composed chamber, orchestral and operatic works and created large scale musical events for public spaces.

In January, 2021, Tiffany Rea-Fisher and Daniel Bernard Roumain premiered their newest collaboration 8'46", a dance and music piece they created in response to the 8 minutes and 46 seconds during which George Floyd's neck was crushed. The two artists sat down to discuss their insights on the critical moment of pandemic and protest along with their new piece.
