In this piece, the line dance carries the potential to both control and liberate the dancers. The interpreters and I researched the overwhelming senses of urgency and perfectionism baked into our daily lives. We learned how to fall together with trust and vulnerability. I began this process with some questions fundamental to my movement research: how can we stay with moments of the unknown or the uncomfortable for long enough to interrogate what we are doing? What if the fall is not only a necessary tool to adapt to uncontrollable circumstances, but the only way to make it through? – Chrissy Martin
