In Essence Of (2018)
This work, made in collaboration with the dancers, displays a heightened and theatrical representation of each of the performers’ personalities and identities. It questions what it means to “perform” personality and individuality. It invites the audience to think about what specific parts of their own character, history, and personality they identify with and how they wish to project their own particular uniqueness.
