"Aviator" is a new evening-length work by push/FOLD, created by composer-choreographer and interdisciplinary artist Samuel Hobbs and premiering in March 2027. Informed by Hobbs’ audio-spatial synesthesia, "Aviator" integrates athletic post-contemporary dance, original music, animation, and lighting into a physical and cinematic world.

Drawing from experiences of assimilation, mixed heritage, and language loss, the work unfolds through a dramaturgical progression, meditating on belonging and what is inherited, altered, and carried forward. Through movement, speech, sound, and shapeshifting, "Aviator" examines communication, adaptation, and the construction of self when parts of what formed us remain inaccessible.

Adaptable and tour-ready, "Aviator" is designed for presentation in both proscenium theaters and black box venues.

The Off-CINARS showcase presents a 20-minute excerpt performed by four artists.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‍​‌‌​‍‌​​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‍‌‍‌‍​‍​​‌​​​‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍​‍​‍​‌‍‌​​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍​​‍‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‌‍​‌​‍​​‌‌‌‍​‌​‍​​‍‌​‌‌‍​‍​‌‌‍​‍​​‍​‍‌​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‍‌‌​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‍​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‌‍​​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‌‌‌‍​‍​‌​‌‍​‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌​​​‌​‍​‌‍​​‌​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‍​‌‌​‍‌​​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​​​​​‌​​‍‌‍‌‍​‍​​‌​​​‍‌‍​‍​‍‌‌‍‌​‌‍​​‍​‌‍​‍​‍‌​‌​‌‍​‍​‍​‌‍‌​​‍‌‌‍​‍‌‍​​‍‌‌‍‌​​‍‌‌‍​‌​‍​​‌‌‌‍​‌​‍​​‍‌​‌‌‍​‍​‌‌‍​‍​​‍​‍‌​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‍‌‌​‍‌‍​‌‌‍‌‌‍‌‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍‌‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‍​​‌‍​‌‌‍‌‍‌‍​​‌‍​​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‍​‌‍‍​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‌‍‌​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​​‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​‌​​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‌‌‌‍​‍​‌​‌‍​‌‍​‌‌‍​‍‌‍‌​​​‌​‍​‌‍​​‌​‌‍‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍​​‍​‍‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​‌​​‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‍​‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​​‍​‍‌‌
