> The Department of Dance at the University of California, Riverside,  
> presents I was cooler then. by Alison Bory, choreographer and MFA  
> candidate in Dance at UCR.  This fictional dance memoir of the  
> choreographer's more awkward days is a semi-autobiographical,  
> theatrical portrait based in images of high school, adolescence and  
> an acne-induced understanding of identity.  Combining dance, text  
> and a soundtrack of the formidable years, the work remembers and re- 
> imagines the uncomfortable moments and seemingly inescapable truths  
> of the teenage years.  The performance, which seeks to illuminate  
> the constructed nature of identity while exploring the shared  
> histories that seem indicative of that construction, aims to unpack  
> what makes this time so fundamental to an understanding of  
> selfhood.  Presented as a single work, the piece includes a  
> continuous series of solos, duets and the occasional ensemble dance  
> that reference the cultural vocabularies and personal experiences  
> of the performers.

> I was cooler then. was created by Alison Bory in collaboration with
