The Light We Lost

Leaning into the beauty and quality of movement, finding the balance of emotional vulnerability along with strength and control of not only the movements but the command of the physical world in which we occupy. The stage as a tangible limiting force that the dance pushes back back against but also must embrace as a shared existence.
