CHOREOGRAPHIC WORKS
The dance in these site-specific works integrates a diverse range of movement techniques and structures that reflect the emotive registers of the wake complex. The dance becomes a ritual of bridging the past and present, where the corporeal acts of remembering are not merely acts of sorrow but of restoration, reparation, and resilience.
