Shedding is an excerpt from a larger, interdisciplinary collaboration with professional artists (mentioned above) Exploring themes of loss, memory, shedding & renewal, this work is our attempt to create a new approach to contemporary dance rooted in the form and spirit of Martha Graham and Jose Limon Dance Company techniques. Additionally, Shedding is motivated by our desire to explore Handel's Baroque music as an impetus for movement.
