#wheremyheartbelongs
#wheremyheartbelongs is a creation that started in January 2019. The work is an investigation of "ME". The work sketches the layers of complex emotional state of fear, bravely, confusion, doubt, and curiosity when exploring the notion of being unapologetically one's self, and how this emotional state influences us physically; the determination, frustration, comparing with others, building of confidence, letting go and manifestation.
The first section, #wheremyheartbelongs0.1, was commissioned and premiered in May 2019 at The Mark O'Donnell Theater at the Actors Fund Center by Kinections Dancegroup. The work is currently in the process of expansion and restructuring, and to be performed by five dancers with an addition of an extended ensemble section and solo section.
