Reposted from @parkavearmory “When the Armory commissioned me to create this work, I knew I wanted to push my creative limits and connect it with the immensity of the space and with who I am at this moment as a person, choreographer, and performer…I thought deeply about how I could express the delicate nature of aging and how we live a full life with all of its joys and sorrows, and I knew because of my personal connections to the work, I had to join my fellow collaborators in performing the work on stage.” — @kyle_abraham_original_recipe
