Sistercraft
I invite dancers from a variety of backgrounds to explore a different or fresh relationship to our respective formative genres, and to more deeply inhabit the forms we have in common. In this way, I think of craft as empowerment, as our work together is fundamentally co-creative, supporting dancer agency, placing the burden of communication on movement, and imagining an audience that craves the sort of expression only dance can provide.
Embracing the Journey: Trust, Tradition, and Transformation in Dance
From the beginning, Sisters was all about trust for me—trust in Randee’s years of experience as a choreographer, trust that I could find synergy with Eli, whom I’d never worked with before, trust that our stories held meaning for both of us, and trust in my body to move through a space it wasn’t yet familiar with. I trusted the process to reveal its truest intentions in its own time. Nothing else mattered. Nothing else got in the way.
