Only An Expert | Carissa Campbell Choreography

Hi all! Here's a full video of my piece "Only an Expert" which premiered this past Spring (2023) in the University of Arizona School of Dance's "Awakening Student Spotlight." Included below is an excerpt detailing my process and inspiration :)
The overall message behind the piece is the idea that we, as people and as a society, tend to take what the so-called “experts” say over basic common sense. This can be applied to a variety of different fields, careers, experiences, and parts of life in general. Throughout my piece I wanted to take the viewer on a journey. I start off with a sort of hierarchical structure, before leading into an example of public failure as an expert, and conclude by portraying the competition that upholds itself. No matter what, there is always someone else, and multiple experts often contradict each other leading to conflict of who is actually “correct.”
A very special shoutout to my dancers, you have the opportunity to work with a lot of people and I thank you for choosing me, I am forever grateful. I have had such a beautiful time working with you all and I am so proud of our creation. I hope you enjoy!!
