Gina Hoch-Stall tries hard most of the time, not always in an endearing way. When improvising she often begins with a right arm gesture or dramatic weight shift. She can be fun, but tends towards serious. For someone who so enjoys planning ahead, her performances are remarkably full of real time decision making. Perhaps because she feels like a performance is a conversation between the performers, spectators, the space, tech crew, and all the baggage they each brought into the room. Conversations where one person replies in the same exact way, no matter who they’re conversing with, remind Gina of the strange vocal tics she developed when leaving the same voicemail on 50+ people’s machines for a fundraising campaign in 2003. Gina doesn’t want to dance like a robot, much too easy, she’d rather be a person: gesturing with her right arm; attempting, and failing, to communicate responsively with everything at once.
