Through Saturday at Links Hall, choreographer Paige Caldarella and dramaturg/filmmaker Jessica King offer “If Left Unchecked,” a two-act, hour-long dance and film montage on female rage. In the work’s opening moment, dancer Keyierra Collins has her head tucked into Jess Duffy’s back. She thrusts her elbows side to side, then switches to a jab, like a karate chop, with hands flexed toward empty seats on the side of Links Hall’s studio B. She breathes heavily – one exhale per jab – going nowhere despite her best effort.

Brian Brooks sees movement from an uncommon perspective, and his Harris Theater premiere this week takes an especially uncommon view of falling. “It makes one’s head twist, the undoing of things,” he says in a recent phone interview with seechicagodance. “Prelude” takes on the reversal of energy flow, “retracing the points of initiation,” and exploring how the act of undoing manifests itself physically and psychologically through movement. With un-falling, “the physics is not intuitive.”
