About

This short contemporary solo examines the expansion and contraction of folded geometries and was first developed in collaboration with dancer Eleanor Simmons for her professional audition portfolio. It was restaged with Katherine Lingle for a public premiere at the McCallum Theatre’s Palm Desert Choreography Festival, Youth/Emerging Division in 2023.
