I managed to choreograph during this global pandemic! Yes! I said it! I actually managed to create some art! I made a piece rooted in a study on grief. The kind of grief where all you can really do is stare at your hands to remind yourself you’re still real. As we filmed the work, I directed movers at the start and end to spend a few moments “just being in your humanity”. In this season where so many are “Merry and Bright”, I honor those for whom these emotions are very far away.
