While paralleling the structure of a traditional mass, it will bring to life unique elements that provide relevance for the world in which we live.

MacArthur Drive (2012)
Music: Jackie McLean
Length: 10 min
MacArthur Drive is the street I grew up on in Williamsville, NY, a suburb of Buffalo. Our lives are shaped by the environment that surrounds us, and my story is no different. This dance is the beginning of my investigation of those people and circumstances, and how it has created the person I currently am. It's also an invitation for you to begin the same investigation.
