"When I first came into contact with hip hop ... it was a very empowering time and moment,... at the age of 26 after my classical training, I felt compelled to reach back and connect to that part of me I left behind in Los Angeles."
"Act I, Quijada explained, was a collection of trials and tests, created between 2002 and 2005, when he first began combining urban and classical dance styles."
Rubberband recently performed at the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, showcasing Vic's Mix, which features works by Victor Quijada from 2002 to 2014. The performance included a new, diverse cast and celebrated the company's evolution since its founding in 2002. Quijada, who is inspired by hip-hop and classical dance, returned to dancing in 2020. The performance highlighted his journey and artistic vision, alongside an engaging post-show discussion, illustrating the fusion of cultural influences in contemporary dance.
