REVIEWS​​

Irishia Hubbard’s Muscle Memory features dancers Kyla Chaney, Nicole Rivor, and Julienne Mackey moving throughout a beautiful home whose walls are lined with fascinating artwork. This is a work about women and the physical history they all share with one another in their homes. Hubbard, the Artistic Director of The Hubbard Collective, incorporates every inch and item of this colorful and wonderfully decorated house. The movement echoes the emotions that continuously shift from fun to anxiety to anger and back again. The smash cut technique used here is the speed with which scenes and moods change. It is a pleasure to watch." - LA Dance Chronicle
