Choreography

Round and Round and Circles

2024–2025

Round and Round and Circles

Round and Round was Faith Robinson's first student work at SJSU. This intricate contemporary group piece premiered in April of 2024. In February of 2025, Round and Round travelled to the Northwest ACDA Conference in Modesto, where it was picked to perform in that conference's gala. Round and Round and Circles plays with the concept of breaking the fourth wall, and acknowledging the uncomfortability and pressures of being perceived by an audience.

Cherish

2024–2025

Cherish

Premiering in December 2024 and featured in the spring 2025 sjDANCEco festival, this lighthearted contemporary duet explores the evolution of a platonic friendship. It beautifully portrays how relationships shift and grow alongside the individuals within them.

2025

Cut the Slack

Cut the Slack was an eerie contemporary trio Robinson made in the fall of 2025. This work came from the concept of viewing life as a tightrope, with multiple people trying to stay on, and how they navigate one another.

Due To Please

2025–2026

Due To Please

Robinson's most recent work, Due To Please, initially premiered in December 2025, and again in March 2026 for the ACDA Northwest Conference in Las Vegas. Due to Please is a contemporary group piece with jazz inspired music and movement. This piece incorporates dance theater and satirical themes with the dancers interacting with their audience looking for their approval and affection while dealing with deeper themes of over exertion for gratification.
