pliant spaces is an improvised dance performance influenced by my experience in tai chi. Touching on themes of ritual, transformation, and coexistence, this work is a love letter to the community I practice with and the environment I practice in. It marks the beginning of my journey as I learn to carry the weight of preserving tradition. This dance is a practice of showing up as I delicately balance my body in a shifting universe.
