A commissioned work by École de danse contemporaine de Montréal, 2023
Here they are: fourteen. Emerging, exploring, disappearing, manipulating. With ease and effort, hoisting, sliding, entwining, dashing. Fourteen ways. We don't know if we're taking away, stripping, or adding, building. But we transform, we manipulate, we make the world into something in our image, in search of light, our eyes riveted on the stars - while we can still see them.
