The Only Constant


  • Odyssey Theatre 2055 South Sepulveda Boulevard Los Angeles, CA, 90025 United States (map)

World Premiere 

Choreography: Genevieve Carson 

Developed in various iterations since 2016, choreographer Genevieve Carson presents a new evening length project, The Only Constant, a work that skates the line between composure and chaos. Featuring the classic compositions of Bach, Mozart, and Chopin, the score is enhanced and distorted by Los Angeles composer Robert Amjarv. The result is a wild, graceful, heartbreaking, and ironic work. Through her direction, Carson aims to capture the profundity of human existence—the solitude of individuality and how our paths are knocked off course and altered by the happenstance of meeting others. Embodying the feeling of juxtaposition that makes up the human existence, The Only Constant sheds light on the small fleeting moments of beauty that make the perpetual struggle of life all worth it. The dancers are challenged to grapple with feelings of frustration and exhaustion, and ultimately required to question their own motivation to engage.
