Have Mercy - Eryn Allen Kane | Dance Choreography

When things falls apart, who do you blame? The world, or yourself?
The circumstances that surround us can have a great deal of influence on our psyche - we are lifted up when things go our way, but brought crashing down when not so lucky. It’s times like these we ask the world to “Have Mercy”, but often the world pays no heed. We should instead ask ourselves to “Have Mercy”; to not be such harsh self-critics, to embrace failure, and to focus on things within our control.
This piece examines a transition in mindset, from a mentality that is swept along with ocean currents to one like a buoy, still moved by the water around it, but firmly rooted at its base.
This was created for a live show - as always, I find it hard to let go of a piece after it has performed. So, I take any opportunity to re-create it for film...
We created this one together and it was extremely challenging to work together. We have contrasting styles. We have different visions. At times, we had clashing ideas. But we made it through and this is the final result.
We hope this one hits home.
