We had the immense pleasure of collaborating with the exquisite Gillian Murphy (@gillianemurphy )—one of the greatest ballerinas of this generation!—on a video for a new perfume line by @odetteparfumco , honoring Gillian’s iconic role as Odette/Odile in Swan Lake.

A tiny clip from our short dance film ‘Away From Home’. If you’re intrigued and would like to see the whole thing, click the link in our bio to watch it! The entire film was made in just 24 hours with some of our dearest friends. This past weekend @ninemile.productions had the pleasure of attending the @liminaldancefilmfestival where our film was screened alongside some mind-blowingly beautiful works of art. It was incredibly inspiring to see what folks are making (all around the world!) and the entire event was warm, welcoming, and buzzing with energy and enthusiasm for the arts. Thank you to the Liminal team for having us!

Meet Amy! (She's been with Pigeonwing since 2022) Favorite part of "Rising": My favorite moment in Rising is the cephalopod trio. It feels intricate, meditative, and surprising, and the level of connection between the three of us is deeply satisfying. Favorite sea creature: Hexabranchus sanguineus, more commonly known as 'The Spanish Dancer'. It's the fanciest of sea slugs! Ticket link in bio. Portrait: @jeremykylephoto Slug video: @fathomlesslife

It’s been two weeks since our sold-out weekend of ‘Buried Giants’, and we’re still feeling the magic of the world we immersed ourselves and our audiences in. 🤩🥹 We’re loving this video that @joeraffanti put together for us from our performances, and sorely missing the beautiful dancers and collaborators who helped us bring this world into existence and this story to life. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who was involved in this production and to everyone who came out to see it! ❤️ VIDEO CREDITS: ‘Buried Giants’ by konverjdans Choreography: @amyjsaunder , @movesbyj , @tiff__em Dancers: @antuanbyers , @joparks , @cheng_moves , @allegraherman , @alyssaforte , @shayehazen & the above Music: “EARTH” by Alexis Gideon & Khotomeh Lighting Design: @zombified347 Costume Design: @_something_r Videography: @lookslikesergio & @joeraffanti Editing: Joe Raffanti End-card Motion Design: @mikemartinmakes

‘Buried Giants’ OPENS TONIGHT! 🎉 (Limited tickets available at the door.) Today we’re highlighting our performers and collaborators—an incredibly talented and generous group of artists without whom we could never bring a production like this to life. 🥲 Read about them below. 🤍 FIRST SLIDE 🤍 Performing alongside co-founders @amyjsaunder , @movesbyj & @tiff__em : Our leading couple, @antuanbyers & @joparks —it’s been such a pleasure and an honor to watch them deepen into their artistry over the years and into these roles in particular, giving and baring so much of themselves onstage. The wonderful @cheng_moves , who’s been with us since we first expanded beyond our trio in 2018. @allegraherman and @alyssaforte —beauties & powerhouses whose presence, collaboration & creativity we so admire and value. And @shayehazen , konverj’s first-ever apprentice/intern, who amazes us daily with her thoughtfulness and beautiful movement quality. 🤍 SECOND SLIDE 🤍
@joeraffanti , cinematographer, dramaturg, collaborator & resident lovebug, who helped Amy dream big and bring this magical stage adaptation to life; #AlexisGideon, composer-musician extraordinaire behind our mesmerizing, emotional score; @zombified347 , who submerges our theater worlds in the most beautiful light; @_something_r , always weaving us the dreamiest, most whimsical costumes; @mira_cook_music & #Khotomeh, lending their ethereal voices to the score; @mikemartinmakes , who gave us an awesome design/branding makeover this year; @soundslikesergio , OG Lovebug, capturing us on video & photo from the VERY beginning; and @ttltrack , whose keen photographic eye gifts us stunning images season after season. We can’t wait to share this with you tonight and tomorrow night!

Two weeks until opening night of ‘Buried Giants’ at @triskelionarts and we are so excited! Make sure to grab your tickets now—seating is limited! (🎟️ tickets in bio) Performances on Feb 20 & 21, 7:30pm at @triskelionarts . DM us for artist ticket code. ❤️ ‘Buried Giants’ is a multimedia dance theater work set in a fog-shrouded world where memory is erased by a mysterious mist. The story follows Axl and Beatrice (played by @antuanbyers and @joparks ), a couple driven by visions of a lost past. Through dreamlike encounters with fantastical beings, their journey uncovers buried truths and asks what is gained—and what is lost—when painful histories are forgotten, and how memory shapes both personal and collective identity. Music: Alexis Gideon Video: @amyjsaunder
