The Work
To whom it may touch
After 14 years of observing from the outside, and sharing my stories through the dancers I’ve worked with, I’ve decided to speak for myself in the first person, instead of being spoken through others. My collaboration with Yankale Filtser began in 2019 and has deepened over the past five years. The line between work, family, and friendship has blurred, so I asked him to dance beside me and speak about everything that is between us, and about this path that eventually leads to the creation of a dance piece on stage.
