Hannah Louise Barnard & Emily Marie Pope | Mother Wound

Mother Wound reads like a ceremonial ritual. Tangled imagery between two dancers within a womb-like swath of fabric illustrates the umbilical cord as both a beautiful symbol of connection and a terrifying symbol of suffocation. Natural imagery in the film projection expands this symbolism to include a representation of the relationship between humanity and Mother Earth. Reconciliation between humans and nature through the familiar lens of a complex mother/daughter relationship can reanimate nature within the human psyche, thus healing our relationship with Earth.

Jasmine Canziani / JasmineSaraChoreography | Subway Suite

Subway Suite attempts to dramatize the absurdity of the social constructs we subconsciously abide by on a New York City subway car. In our rehearsal process, we explored this concept through collaborative movement tasks involving active v. passive focus, alternate paths of physical connection, contemporary dance, musical theatre jazz, and camp. This piece is the culmination of the findings of those tasks. The audience is brought in to four different vignettes that explore the above concept in different ways. We hope it will make you laugh, feel, and think about the way in which you move through the world.
