Every performance is different.
The seed idea for this piece was inspired by some photographs the choreographer found at her grandmother's funeral. Given explores what gets passed down in the family, generational themes that push through our lifetime, and the known and unknown layers we inherit. The work aims to balance abstraction with readablegesture, wandering toward character development without falling into narrative. The only sound source used in this piece is the piano, which was chosen for its ability to simultaneously convey a sense of private and public space, and for its status as a generational symbol. Pianos are often handed down through generations of family.
