WAKATI
WAKATI (A moment) is a dance performance that includes a duet and two short films (Home & Body vs. Mouth) projection that demonstrate the layers of moments and talks about how those moments can change an individual’s attitudes, thoughts, experiences, and life. The interpretation of this piece shows the power of courage built up through the events that happened in our lives by surprise and led us to patience, attentiveness, and understanding to face challenges or joys. The performance deals with the moments that can change a person’s life: the development from childhood to adulthood and the world around us. WAKATI shows in images, dance, and music how we can find support, care, and comfort in our shared experiences in the moments we share with others in our daily lives.
