I found this beautiful and moving piece while doing some research on embodied cognition, specifically looking at dancers and how they emote through movement, using all of their bodies. I did not expect this piece to end the way that it did, and the shock of it moved me to tears when I understood that the dancer would not be able to dance for an indefinite amount of time (it is unclear if the condition is permanent or if he/they are going through a bout of illness/recovery). There is still a small space where the dancer can still imagine what it feel to be free to use their whole body, and that's the space no one can access and take away from them. It makes me think a lot about the relationship between freedom and constraints and how our nature as living beings is to find ways around limits to express ourselves. You were amazing from start to finish! Thank you!

[@calvinroyal111]

Thank you so much for your touching message. Forgive me for the delay in replying. I’m glad the message we were trying to convey reached you ☺️✨ it’s the fine line we all walk between freedom (of our mind and our body) and the confronts or things in life/reality that somehow hold us back. Thanks again 🙏🏾☺️

I saw you in Romeo and Juliette with Cassie Trenary in July and absolutely loved both of you. Seeing this now reminded of how much I loved your dancing. Getting a ticket for gala night just so I can see you dance again!

Semplicemente sublime

[@carmencoward7997]

I used this in my classroom for my 6th-grade students in other for them to make inferences. I watched as all 24 students were in tears at the beauty of the music but especially at the dancer and his dance. This is a fantastic exhibit of artistry.
