  • still. to be. moving

    November 13th | 6:30pm & 8:30pm

    Arts On Site • 12 St. Marks Pl, NYC

    What do we carry with us as we move between places, languages, cultures, and versions of ourselves?

    still. to be. moving is a deeply personal dance work exploring migration, memory, belonging, and the ongoing process of becoming.

    Moving between different dance vocabularies and fragments of memory, still. to be. moving asks what happens when the identities we inherit, perform, remember, and create do not fit neatly into one place.

    This new iteration expands the original solo into a duet, with creative collaborators Fabiola Torralba, Gustavo Aguilar, Niara Hardister, and Kiernan Robinson.
