Originally developed as a stage piece in collaboration with composer Peter S. Shin — an exploration of music and movement existing as one entity. In 2018, in collaboration with Amodeo Creative, we turned the piece into a film. After screening across the country in the festival circuit and concluding with Dance Camera West in Los Angeles, we're releasing it online.
