Continuum: What Remains

This piece is an extension of a solo piece I created in May of 2025 called "Evolving Somatic Persistence". The elements are the same - body, fibrous vessel, and resistance/persistence - but the bodies have doubled for this piece. This duet will explore the push and pull within the cocoon that cannot be explored by a single body, but only when two converge within a confined but expanding space.

Feel and witness the struggle that occurs when the very vessel that nurtures and protects you can also be a space of confinement and strain. This struggle is both internal and external in the work as the two dancers grapple with this emotion and physicality within a fibrous vessel, a sort of cocoon. This confined space heightens tensions and forces engagement, collision, and shared grief. The dancers must both confront and comfort each other in their mirrored struggles.
