Fault Lines

I have always been drawn to the moment when something familiar begins to fall apart. Sometimes the smallest movement carries a feeling that has been buried for years. A sudden breath, an unfinished gesture, or the instinct to reach towards someone can reveal how much the body remembers.

​

In creating Fault Lines, I explored interrupted movement, shifting weight and the tension between bodies moving together and pulling apart. I wanted the dancers to move through states of uncertainty, allowing their physical impulses to disturb the space around them. The broken structures and flowing fabric became extensions of these inner tensions, sometimes enclosing the body, sometimes opening up unexpected possibilities.

There is fear in losing our familiar shape, but also tenderness, vulnerability and the possibility of becoming something we have yet to understand.
