Past Performances (2014-2021): 

 

Embedded Memories 

October 2021 
Performance at SUNY Brockport on the Alumni House lawn.

 

August 2021 

The premiere of an illuminated installation in collaboration with Allison Patrick.

The piece was staged at Appleberry Farm in Sandy Hook, CT as part of the Company's 2021 Season Gala.

 

Embedded Memories is rooted in honoring personal histories through the sense of scars and their images which live permanently on, and inside of, our bodies. Investigating the memories and stories these imprints hold, we can learn from one another and promote community healing. Inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery while highlighting the areas of breakage, golden accents illuminate the stories through the investigation of an installation space with over 50 lighted lanterns ranging in size from 6'' - 36'' and inventive light pieces affixed to the dancers' bodies.
