i keep discovering dance to be a profound medium. one that allows for deep introspection. also a beautiful invitation for others to join in and understand it for themselves.
building this set, allowed me to scavenge for old vhs tapes that I did not even know existed. we added a snippet of it to the backdrop of our set. it brought me to so many tears seeing family videos of when i was a baby for the very first time. thank you,
@heisjustin_ for sparking this idea.
this preproduction process was quite laborious in aligning so many moving parts. thank you
@lisa_mats_ for your assistance in helping find little elijah(younger version of me on facetime). and thank you, elijah and mother jenny for being so kind and gracious with your time.
being able to witness and feel the connection of my team resonating with this dance, came with a joy that I’ve never experienced before. love you all so deeply
@skopos__dance .
this is “789.” to be in tribulation and remembering that all of it is purposeful. so don’t be discouraged, for God is refining us. fall down 7 times, stand up 8 9.
