Run from your Shadows
Presented at in NYC as part of the Obresmki/Works Voyager Fellowship, Run From Your Shadows peels back the masks that humans are trained to create and perfect to reveal the universal experience of darkness.
This work features intense athleticism, physical theatre and a play between abstract and literal movement and interactions.
You Sleep On
I feel numb and empty. As if, I’m scared. Scared that if I let myself feel, even a little, everything will fall apart. I don’t know what I’m supposed to feel right now. Am I supposed to be feeling. It’s just easier if I don’t feel. Because even if there’s the glimpse of happiness, of joy and excitement, the inevitability of this wave of sadness. Not sadness, this heart dropping out of my chest, brain imploding and exploding whilst simultaneously spinning out of control but not producing anything helpful. This awfully, exhausting point. The familiarity, the comfortability within this makes me wonder; what if I just stayed here forever.
Presented at Eternity Playhouse Theatre as part of FORM Dance Projects' IDEA NOW.
