About the Artist
Boomerang was created in 2012 by co-artistic directors Matty Davis and Kora Radella with founding member Adrian Galvin. Recognizing the body as an evolving repository for both physical and psychological life, Boomerang uses idiosyncratic movement, unpredictable phrasing, and a commitment to full-on embodied motion to create intense explorations of how human histories might be sensitively layered, distorted, and re-contextualized.
Boomerang is keen on presenting their work in a wide variety of alternative spaces, from parks to vineyards, the streets to the mountains, and within academic and school contexts. In the United States, their work has been presented in New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Grand Rapids. In 2015, they made their European debut with residencies and performances at Lake Studios Berlin and Tragant Dansa in Barcelona. Most recently, they premiered their work at the Arts Arena in Paris as well at the Berliner Festspiele in Berlin at the invitation of world-renowned theater director Robert Wilson.
