Wonderful piece. I love the character of the dancers.

[jkjudy]

This piece shows a beautiful blend of music and movement to create at times confusion, tension, fear, friendship and community. I loved it. The dancers do a wonderful job of communicating what I assume was a challenging concept for the choreographer. Great piece. :)

i saw the concert also and am very glad to have seen this video. these three 'sisters' become more interesting each time you watch them. sometimes it is a bit leggy, but then again that tends to be the nature of pointe shoes. beautiful work

It is great to see pointe shoes used in a way that benefits the aesthetic of the dance. I enjoyed the video very much, and the dynamics of the movement and use of space was great. I would like more delving into the extremes of the movement pace which seems to be happening just as the video fades. I look forward to seeing this piece live some day.

I saw this dance live and loved it, but somehow the choreography translates even better on film. I'm not much of a dance person, however I can definitely appreciate this modern spin on ballet. I also love that each dancer has her own style and the moves are constructed to be chaotically complementary when different and are executed seamlessly when in unison.

Captivating... wonderful interplay between the dancers.

This choreography is seamless. The intention is leading the movement, giving it a beautiful flow. And I appreciate the change in dimensions. Awesome! Great choreographic effort!

Evocative and unusual.

A standout among these entries.

The contrast of the black box surrounding filled with the haunting score to the virtuosity of the dancers as they execute simple steps chained together to create complex choreography creates a feeling of harmony and conflict simultaneously. What a beautiful outcome of the difficult talk of exploring mental health through movement. Bravo!!!

i love how the dancers interact (the handholding mirror dances called to mind imagined elegant, graceful sisters of humpty-dumpty). I also liked the contrast: even though the surroundings and colors are stark, the dance is teeming with life.
